Attaching and effacing pathogens possess a locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE)-encoded type III secretion system. They form attaching and effacing lesions on intestinal epithelial cell surfaces by the combined actions of intimin, an eae gene-encoded outer membrane protein, and type III secretion system effectors.
