Flagellin hypervariable region determines symbiotic properties of commensal Escherichia coli strains.

Flagellin hypervariable region determines symbiotic properties of commensal Escherichia coli strains.

Escherichia coli represents a classical intestinal gram-negative commensal. Despite this commensalism, different E. coli strains can mediate disparate immunogenic properties in a given host. Symbiotic E. coli strains such as E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) are attributed beneficial properties, e.g., promo...
