Specific invasion of transformed cells by Escherichia coli A2 strain.
Bacteria of the spontaneously isolated non-pathogenic strain Escherichia coli A2 producing actin-specific protease ECP 32 (Usmanova and Khaitlina, 1989) were shown to be taken up by transformed cells, whereas finite and immortal cell lines were resistant to the infection.
