Uropathogenic E. coli Exploit CEA to Promote Colonization of the Urogenital Tract Mucosa.

Uropathogenic E. coli Exploit CEA to Promote Colonization of the Urogenital Tract Mucosa.

Attachment to the host mucosa is a key step in bacterial pathogenesis. On the apical surface of epithelial cells, members of the human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family are abundant glycoproteins involved in cell-cell adhesion and modulation of cell signaling. Interestingly, several gram-negativ...
