Structure of lymphostatin, a large multi-functional virulence factor of pathogenic Escherichia coli

Nature Communications
Lymphostatin is a key virulence factor of enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli, playing roles in bacterial colonisation of the gut and in the inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation and proinflammatory responses.

Repurposing Drugs as Bacteroides fragilis BFT‐3 Inhibitors in the Animal Infection Model Galleria mellonella

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1557, Issue 1, March 2026.
This work establishes a newly developed Galleria mellonella infection model as a powerful, ethical platform for studying Bacteroides fragilis pathogenesis and therapy. Leveraging this model, the study identifies MOA4 as a potent BFT‐3 inhibitor that improves host survival, increases bacterial clearance, and synergizes with antibiotics without toxicity.

Environment Controls LEE Regulation in Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a significant cause of infant morbidity and mortality in developing regions of the world. Horizontally acquired genetic elements encode virulence structures, effectors, and regulators that promote bacterial ...

Comparison of multiplex PCR with serogrouping and PCR-RFLP of fliC gene for the detection of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC)

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) comprise one of the six categories of diarrhoeagenic E. coli (DEC). EPEC is subgrouped into typical (tEPEC) and atypical (aEPEC). The identification of DEC cannot be based only on cultural and biochemical criteria,
