Type 6 secretion systems of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli isolated from Crohn’s disease patients shape intestinal microbiota
Adherent Invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) colonize the ileal mucosa of Crohn’s disease patients. Among bacterial virulence factors potentially implicated, type 6 secretion systems (T6SS) are molecular machineries sending effectors in prokaryotic or eukaryotic target cells. Two T6SS have been reported in AIEC LF82 refer...
