Major host factors involved in epithelial cell invasion of Campylobacter jejuni: Role of fibronectin, integrin beta1, FAK, Tiam-1 and DOCK180 in activating Rho GTPase Rac1

Host cell entry by the foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni has been reported as one of the primary reasons of tissue damage in infected humans, however, molecular invasion mechanisms and cellular factors involved in this process are widely unclear. Here we used knockout cell lines derived from f...
