Bacterial Secretions of Nonpathogenic <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content> Elicit Inflammatory Pathways: a Closer Investigation of Interkingdom Signaling
ABSTRACT There have been many studies on the relationship between nonpathogenic bacteria and human epithelial cells; however, the bidirectional effects of the secretomes (secreted substances in which there is no direct bacterium-cell contact) have yet to be fully investigated. In this study, we use...

ABSTRACT There have been many studies on the relationship between nonpathogenic bacteria and human epithelial cells; however, the bidirectional effects of the secretomes (secreted substances in which there is no direct bacterium-cell contact) have yet to be fully investigated.
