Adhesion and entry of uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Open access
Mulvey, Matthew A.·2002·Cellular Microbiology

Abstract

To effectively colonize a host animal and cause disease, many bacterial pathogens have evolved the mechanisms needed to invade and persist within host cells and tissues. Recently it was discovered that uropathogenic Escherichia coli, the primary causative agent of urinary tract infections, can invade and replicate within uroepithelial cells. This can provide E. coli with a survival advantage, allowing the microbes to better resist detection and clearance by both innate and adaptive immune defence mechanisms. Adhesive organelles, including type 1, P, and S pili along with Dr adhesins, promote both bacterial attachment to and invasion of host tissues within the urinary tract. Interactions mediated by these adhesins can also stimulate a number of host responses that can directly influence the outcome of a urinary tract infection.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
