EPEC infection causes host cell cycle arrest. We found that Cif (cell cycle inhibiting factors) secreted by EPEC on bacterial infection inhibited host cell cycle progression at G1 Phase by interacting with host cell factor. Our study suggested that EPEC deploys a special tactic to prevent rapid epithelial turnover in order to maintain epithelial cells.
