| dc.description.abstract | Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major cause of diarrhoea amongst
children in developing countries and travellers to such countries. Virulence in ETEC is
dependent on both toxin production and adherence of the bacteria to the host intestine.
This adherence is an important event in the establishment of infection and is mediated
by adhesins such as fimbriae. ETEC produces several distinct types of fimbriae
including CS1, CS2 and CFA/I. The Rns transcriptional regulator activates expression
of CS1 and CS2 fimbriae. | |
