The assembly of a hybrid type IV secretion system by a Crohn’s disease-associated Escherichia coli strain - Nature Communications Adherent-invasive strains of E. coli are commonly isolated from patients with Crohn’s disease. Here, the authors show that an AIEC harbours a hybrid Type IV secretion system (T4SS) that mediates pilin polymerization and biofilm formation in vivo.

Happy to share our latest pub in @natcomms.nature.com led by my trainee Jonas Wong www.nature.com/articles/s41.... We identified an 'unusual' T4SS used by Crohn's E. coli to make biofilms and ⬆️ inflammation. We're hiring a PDF to continue this. Details: iaejup.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...
