Heat-labile enterotoxin enhances F4-producing enterotoxigenic E. coli adhesion to porcine intestinal epithelial cells by upregulating bacterial adhesins and STb enterotoxin

Abstract As one of the crucial enterotoxins secreted by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) enhances bacterial adherence both in vivo and in vitro; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. To address this, we evaluated the adherence of LT-producing and LT-...
