This event is mediated in part by intimin binding to another bacterial protein, Tir (translocated intimin receptor), which is exported by the bacteria and integrated into the host cell plasma membrane. Importantly, EPEC (O127:H6) and EHEC (O157:H7) express antigenically distinct intimin types known as intimin \u03b1 and \u03b3, respectively. EHEC (O157:H7) colonises human intestinal explants although adhesion is restricted to the follicle associated epithelium of Peyer's patches. This phenotype is also observed with EPEC O127:H6 engineered to express EHEC intimin \u03b3.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Aims: To investigate the influence of intimin on colonisation of human intestine by\n                    <jats:italic>E coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    O157:H7, and intimin types on tissue tropism in humans.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods: Human intestinal in vitro organ culture with wild type and mutant strains of O157:H7 were employed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Results: Introducing a deletion mutation in the\n                    <jats:italic>eae<\/jats:italic>\n                    gene encoding intimin \u03b3 in EHEC (O157:H7) caused the strain (ICC170) to fail to colonise human intestinal explants. However, colonisation of Peyer's patches and A\/E lesion formation were restored with intimin \u03b3 expression from a plasmid (ICC170 (pICC55)). In contrast, complementing the mutation with intimin \u03b1 resulted in a strain (ICC170 (pCVD438)) capable of colonising and producing A\/E lesions on both Peyer's patch and other small intestinal explants.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Conclusion: Intimin is necessary for human intestinal mucosal colonisation by\n                    <jats:italic>E coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    O157:H7.
