Surface proteins called intimins (Int), which are homologous to the invasin protein (Inv) of
Yersinia spp., play a role in inducing brush border damage, termed attachment and …

A eukaryotic cell-binding domain from the intimin (Int) polypeptide of enteropathogenic
Escherichia coli O127 (EPEC) was investigated. Derivatives of the carboxy-terminal 280 …

Intimin is a bacterial outer membrane protein required for intimate attachment of
enterohemorrhagic and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EHEC and EPEC) to …

Intimate bacterial adhesion to the intestinal epithelium is a pathogenic mechanism shared
by several human and animal enteric pathogens, including enteropathogenic and …

Intimins are outer membrane proteins expressed by enteric bacterial pathogens capable of
inducing intestinal attachment-and-effacement lesions. A eukaryotic cell-binding domain is …

Intimin is an outer-membrane adhesin that is essential for colonization of the host
gastrointestinal tract by attaching and effacing pathogens including enteropathogenic …

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) produces attaching and effacing (A/E) lesions in
the intestinal mucosa. The intimate bacterial adhesion associated with A/E lesion formation …

The chromosomally encoded inv gene product is an outer membrane protein that is
functionally expressed in the enteropathogenic Yersinia species Yersinia enterocolitica and …

and enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) O157: H7 that mediate attach and efface intestinal …

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains are a common cause of infantile diarrhea
in developing countries. EPEC strains induce a characteristic attaching and effacing (A/E) …
