Epithelial cells detect functional type III secretion system of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli through a novel NF-KB signaling pathway

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), a common cause of infant diarrhea, is associated with high risk of mortality in developing countries. The primary niche of infecting EPEC is the apical surface of intestinal epithelial cells. EPEC employs a type three secretion system (TTSS) to inject the ho...
