EHEC and EPEC pedestals can be compared directly using engineered EPEC strains.

Abstract

<p>(A) EPEC Y474*, EPEC Y474F, KC12+EspF<sub>U</sub>, and KC12+vector are all EPEC strains engineered to express HA-tagged versions of Tir and/or myc-tagged EspF<sub>U</sub> to reflect the WT EPEC or WT EHEC pathways of pedestal assembly. Green and purple boxes represent EPEC and EHEC proteins, respectively. The asterisk indicates phosphotyrosine residue 474. (B) HeLa cells were infected for 3 h with the indicated strains, fixed, and stained to visualize LPS, HA-Tir, and F-actin. Scale bar, 10 μm.</p
