CadC Is the Preferential Target of a Convergent Evolution Driving Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli toward a Lysine Decarboxylase-Defective Phenotype

Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), like Shigella, is the etiological agent of bacillary dysentery, a particularly severe syndrome in children in developing countries.
