EspE3 plays a role in the pathogenicity of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli

Abstract APEC encodes multiple virulence factors that have complex pathogenic mechanisms. In this study, we report a virulence factor named EspE3, which can be secreted from APEC. This protein was predicted to have a leucine-rich repeat domain (LRR) and may have a similar function to IpaH class effe...
