The ability of species of enteric bacteria to recognize and colonize unique niches along the intestine is mainly based on receptor distribution and interpretation of a combination of environmental signals leading to the expression of specific adherence factors. Such elaborate orchestration of events is critical during the initial steps of pathogenesis.
肠道细菌识别并定殖于肠道内独特生态位的能力，主要基于受体分布以及对导致特定黏附因子表达的环境信号组合的解读。在发病机制的初始阶段，这种精心编排的一系列事件至关重要。
