EXPRESSION OF HES, IHA, AND TPSA CODIFIED IN LOCUS OF ADHESION AND AUTOAGGREGATION AND THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN THE CAPABILITY OF SHIGA TOXIN-PRODUCING ESCHERICHIA COLI STRAINS TO ADHERE TO EPITHELIAL CELLS

Expression of hes, iha, and tpsA codified in locus of adhesion and autoaggregation and their involvement in the capability of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strains to adhere to epithelial cells

Abstract Objectives Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strains LAA-positive are important cause of human infection.The capability to adhere to epithelial cells is a key virulence trait, and genes codified in LAA pathogenicity island could be involved in the adhesion during the pathogenesis of LAA-positive STEC strains.Thus, our objectives were
