Invasiveness as a putative additional virulence mechanism of some atypical Enteropathogenic <it>Escherichia coli </it>strains with different uncommon intimin types

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Enteropathogenic <it>Escherichia coli </it>(EPEC) produce attaching/effacing (A/E) lesions on eukaryotic cells mediated by the outer membrane adhesin intimin. EPEC are sub-grouped into typical (tEPEC) and atypical (aEPEC). We have recently demonstrated that aEPEC...
