Adhesive threads of extraintestinal pathogenic
Gut Pathogens, 2009 The ability to adhere to host surfaces is by far the most vital step in the successful colonization by microbial pathogens. Colonization begins with the attachment of the bacterium to receptors expressed by cells forming the lining of the mucosa.

Effects of TolC on the pathogenicity of porcine extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is a well-known critical pathogenic zoonosis that causes extraintestinal infections in humans and animals by affecting their immune organs. Recently, research on the outer membrane protein of E. coli, tolerant colicin (TolC), a virulent protein in the formation of the ExPEC efflux pump, has been an ...

Pathogenicity Factors of Genomic Islands in Intestinal and Extraintestinal Escherichia coli [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Escherichia coli is a versatile bacterial species that includes both harmless commensal strains and pathogenic strains found in the gastrointestinal tract in humans and warm-blooded animals. The growing amount of DNA sequence information generated in the era of "genomics" has helped to increase our understanding of the factors and mechanisms involved ...
