Reports on Escherichia coli Findings from University of New South Wales Provide New Insights (Human macrophage response to the emerging enteric pathogen aeromonas veronii: Inflammation, apoptosis, and downregulation of histones).

Researchers from the University of New South Wales conducted a study on the pathogenic mechanisms of Aeromonas veronii and Escherichia coli in human macrophages. The study found that A. veronii induced higher levels of inflammation and apoptosis in macrophages compared to E. coli. A. veronii also downregulated the expression of histone genes, suggesting a unique impact on host cell gene expression. This research provides new insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of A. veronii as a human enteric pathogen. [Extracted from the article]
