Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is the most common cause of childhood and travellers' diarrhoea. The ability of ETEC to adhere to the intestinal epithelium of the host is an important virulence determinant, and adhesion is mediated by proteinaceous surface appendages called colonization factors.
产肠毒素大肠杆菌(ETEC)是儿童腹泻和旅行者腹泻最常见的病因。ETEC黏附于宿主肠道上皮的能力是一个重要的毒力决定因素,黏附由称为定植因子的蛋白质表面附属物介导。
