Child malnutrition is one of the causes of increased morbidity and mortality among children in developing countries. Infections with enteroaggregative Escherichia coli, independent of symptomatology, have been associated with a growth deficit of these children.The objective of this study was to investigate the genes related to virulence, antimicrobial resistance, genetic phylogroups and immunoinflammatory respo...
Epithelial cell migration is an essential response to enteric pathogens such as enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC). This study aimed to investigate the effects of EPEC infection on intestinal epithelial cell migration in vitro, as well as the involvement of type III secretion system (T3SS) and Rho GTPases. Crypt intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6) were infected with EPEC strains (E2348/69, DescF, and the ...
