The ability of haemolysins expressed by atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli to bind to extracellular matrix components

Typical and atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) are considered important bacterial causes of diarrhoea.Considering the repertoire of virulence genes, atypical EPEC (aEPEC) is a heterogeneous group, harbouring genes that are found in other diarrheagenic E.coli pathotypes, such as those encoding haemolysins.Haemolysins are cytolytic tox
