Quercetin Prevents Escherichia coli O157:H7 Adhesion to Epithelial Cells via Suppressing Focal Adhesions

The attachment of Escherichia coli O157:H7 to intestinal epithelial cells is indispensable for its pathogenesis. Besides translocated-intimin receptor (Tir), E. coli O157:H7 interacts with host cell surface receptors to promote intimate adhesion. This study showed that integrin β1 was increased in C...
