The intimin protein is the major adhesin involved in the intimate adherence of atypical enteropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (aEPEC) strains to epithelial cells, but little is known about the structures involved in their early colonization process. A previous study demonstrated that the type III secretion system (T3SS) plays an additional role in the adherence of an <i>Escherichia albertii</i> strain. Therefore, we assumed that the T3SS could be related to the adherence efficiency of aEPEC d ...[more]
