Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is the most common cause of E. coli diarrhea in
farm animals. ETEC are characterized by the ability to produce two types of virulence factors …

Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of unknown aetiology.
Genetically engineered rodent models showed that IBDs are immunologically mediated and …

Escherichia coli strains recovered from Crohn's disease (CD) lesions are able to adhere to
and invade cultured intestinal epithelial cells. We analyzed the behavior within …

The gastrointestinal epithelial layer forms a physical and biochemical barrier that maintains
the segregation between host and intestinal microbiota. The integrity of this barrier is critical …

Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli strains are important causes of diarrhea in children from the
developing world and are now being recognized as emerging enteropathogens in the …

The α‐haemolysin is an important virulence factor commonly expressed by extraintestinal
pathogenic Escherichia coli. The secretion of the α‐haemolysin is mediated by the type I …

The murine macrophage-like cell line J774. A1 ingests and allows intracellular growth of
Francisella tularensis. We demonstrate that, after 24 h of infection, a pronounced …

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin 1 (EAST1) is a small protein that
was first detected more than a decade ago in an enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) strain …

Research and development efforts on bacterial foodborne pathogens, including the
development of novel detection and subtyping methods, as well as validation studies for …

Extracellular membrane vesicles (MVs) released by gut microbiota are key players in the
communication with the host. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory …
