Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) strains are important food-borne pathogens that use a filamentous type III secretion system (fT3SS) for colonization of the gut epithelium. In this study we have shown that EHEC O157 and O26 strains use the fT3SS apparatus for attachment to leaves. Leaf attachment was independent of effector protein translocation.
肠出血性大肠杆菌(EHEC)菌株是重要的食源性病原体,它们利用丝状III型分泌系统(fT3SS)在肠道上皮定殖。在本研究中,我们已表明EHEC O157和O26菌株利用fT3SS装置附着于叶片。叶片附着独立于效应蛋白易位。
