Abstract: BACKGROUND We studied geographic distribution of diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli virulence genes (DEC VGs) acquisition in travellers and investigated if they acquired highly virulent EAEC/STEC hybrid strains. METHODS From the prospective, multicentre COMBAT study among 2001… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0270166
Abstract: The mlaA gene encodes a lipoprotein to maintain an outer membrane lipid asymmetry in gram-negative bacteria. Although the role of mlaA in bacterial virulence has been studied in several bacterial species, there are no reports… read more here.
