The mechanisms by which enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) mediates diarrhea
remain a mystery. Recently a number of interesting and at times surprising results have
come from studying EPEC interactions with host cells. Identification and characterization of
bacterial factors, including Tir, EspA, EspB and EspD, and host responses have expanded
our grasp of the diverse effects of EPEC on host cells.
