    Abstract

    OspE, a Shigella type III effector binds to integrin-like kinase and enhances cell adhesion to better disseminate and colonize the intestinal epithelium. Because of the existence of OspE orthologues in other enteropathogens such as enteropathogenic Escherichia coli or Salmonella sp., maintenance of cell adhesion appears as a widespread strategy for bacteria that interact with the intestinal epithelium.
