Type III secretion systems have been documented in many Gram-negative bacteria, including enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli. We have previously shown the existence of a putative type III secretion system in meningitis-causing E. coli K1 strains, referred to as E. coli type III secretion 2 (ETT2). The sequence of ETT2 in meningitis-causing E. coli K1 strain EC10 (O7:K1) revealed that ETT2 comprises the epr, epa and eiv genes, but bears mutations, deletions and insertions. We constructed the EC10 mutants deleted of ETT2 or eivA gene, and their contributions to bacterial pathogenesis were evaluated in human brain microvascular endothelial cells. The deletion mutant of ETT2 exhibited defects in invasion and intracellular survival compared to the parental E. coli K1 strain EC10. The mutant deleted of eivA within ETT2 was also significantly defective in invasion and intracellular survival in human brain microvascular endothelial cells, and the defects of the eiv mutant were restored to the levels of the parent strain EC10 by trans-complementation. These findings suggest that ETT2 plays a role in the pathogenesis of E. coli K1 infection, including meningitis.
