A review and analysis of research and investigations from the perspective of the host intestinal epithelial cell. • Examines the effects of enteric microbial pathogens on host intestinal epithelial cell function and physiology, as well as the signaling events responsible for these functional consequences. • Covers the normal structure and function of the gastrointestinal tract is covered and focuses on specific microbial pathogens. • Examines the results of studies utilizing nonintestinal cell models within the context of findings obtained from model intestinal epithelial systems. • Emphasizes relevant physiological endpoints.
