The pathophysiology of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) diarrhea remains uncertain. In vitro, EPEC stimulates a rapid increase in short-circuit current (I-sc) across Caco-2 cell monolayers coincident with intimate attaching and effacing (A/E) bacterial adhesion. This study has examined the roles of specific EPEC virulence proteins in this I-sc response. EPEC genes encoding EspA, EspB, and EspD, essential for signal transduction in host cells and A/E activity, were also required for modulation of Caco-2 electrolyte transport.
