Dynamic Interactions of a Conserved Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Adhesin with Intestinal Mucins Govern Epithelium Engagement and Toxin Delivery

At present, there is no vaccine for enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), an important cause of diarrheal illness. Nevertheless, recent microbial pathogenesis studies have identified a number of molecules produced by ETEC that contribute to its virulence and are novel antigenic targets to complem...
