  • Cooperative strategies use adaptation mechanisms that tolerate the pathogen while defending against damage to the host. (krfoundation.org)
  • Once inside the host cells, it localizes under the point of bacterial attachment and interacts with the protein zonulin (ZO-1) and the junctional adhesion molecule (JAM) [ 4 ]. (nimml.org)
