Cuts Both Ways: Proteases Modulate Virulence of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

Cuts Both Ways: Proteases Modulate Virulence of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a major cause of foodborne gastrointestinal illness. EHEC uses a specialized type III secretion system (T3SS) to form attaching and effacing lesions in the colonic epithelium and outcompete commensal gut microbiota to cause disease.Enterohemorrhagic Esche...
