New paper from our lab! We developed an organoid-based air-liquid interface (ALI) model that produces physiologically relevant intestinal mucus and discovered that EspC has a mucinolytic superpower which enables C. rodentium to degrade mucus. 🧫🦠https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12054374/
Defining enteric bacterial pathogenesis using organoids: Citrobacter rodentium uses EspC, an atypical mucinolytic protease, to penetrate mouse colonic mucus
Enteric bacterial pathogens pose significant threats to human health; however, the mechanisms by which they infect the mammalian gut in the face of daunting host defenses remain to be fully defined. F...
