Article Synopsis
- Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major cause of diarrhea in children and livestock, with specific enterotoxins and colonization factors enabling its ability to infect the small intestine.
- The study focuses on the F41-producing ETEC strain B41, highlighting that both the F41 pili and the heat-stable enterotoxin STp are crucial for the bacteria's virulence in infections.
- Research findings suggest that neonatal mice can serve as useful models for studying ETEC pathogenesis and developing targeted vaccines against ETEC infections.
