Escherichia coli O26:K60, with genetic attributes consistent with a potentially human enterohaemorrhagic E. coli was isolated from the faeces of an eight-month-old heifer with dysentery. Attaching and effacing lesions were identified in the colon of a similarly affected heifer examined postmortem, and shown to be associated with E. coli O26 by specific immunolabelling.

The intestinal barrier, held together by epithelial cells and intercellular tight junction (TJ) proteins, prevents the penetration of microbial pathogens. Concurrently, intestinal epithelial cells secrete antimicrobial peptides, including cathelicidin. Cathelicidin has direct antibacterial and immunomodulatory functions, although its role in intestinal integrity remains elusive.

Enteropathogenic (EPEC) is a bacterium that causes attaching/effacing (A/E) lesions and serious diarrheal disease, a major health issue in developing countries. EPEC pathogenicity results from the effect of virulence factors and dysregulation of host responses. Polyamines, including spermidine, play a major role in intestinal homeostasis.

Attaching and effacing (A/E) bacterial pathogens consist of human pathogens enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, enterohemorrhagic E. coli and their murine equivalent Citrobacter rodentium (CR). Emerging evidence suggests that the complex pathogen-microbiota-host interactions are critical in conferring A/E pathogen infection-induced severe symptoms and lethality in immunocompromised hosts; however, the precise underlying mechanisms remain enigmatic.
