Abstract: Lymphostatin/EHEC factor for adherence-1 is a novel large toxin represented in various Gram negative bacteria, highly associated with the development of infectious diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome. In vitro and in vivo experiments identified lymphostatin/EFA-1 as a toxin with a central role in the pathogenesis of Gram negative bacteria, responsible for bacterial adhesion, intestinal colonization, immunosuppression, and disruption of gut epithelial barrier function.
Keywords: lymphocyte inhibitory factor A/EHEC factor for adherence-1; lymphostatin; Gram negative bacterial toxin; Enteropathogenic E. coli; Enterohemorrhagic E. coli; immunosuppression; Citrobacter rodentium; intestinal epithelial barrier function
