This study investigates the pathogenic mechanisms of E. coli O157:H7, focusing on the LEE (Locus of Enterocyte Effacement) cluster genes such as cesD2, escUTSR, and espB. We explore the homologous relationships between key proteins, including SepL to YopN/TyeA and SepQ to YscQ/FliN, and their implications in bacterial virulence. The comparative analysis extends to Yersinia enterocolitica's Yop-Ysc cluster, shedding light on the evolutionary conservation of virulence factors across enteropathogenic bacteria.
