The E. coli strain Nissle 1917 (EcN) disposes of a number of properties which are importantto its survival, colonization ability, and persistence in the intestinalecosystem, and to its therapeutic efficacy.

• Mobility due to type H1-flagella

• Ability to colonize due to specific interaction     of its -flagellae with the mucin layer

• Ability to form biofilms due to F1A-, F1C- and     Curli-fimbriae

• Antagonistic activity directed against foreign     microbes due to antimicrobial microcins

• Vitality and resilience (“biological fitness”)     due to -multiple iron uptake systems

• Immunomodulatory effects due to strain-specific     -surface structures (special LPS = lipopolysaccharide) and synthesis of     immunomodulatory signal substances

• Anti-inflammatory effects

• Stabilizing effect on the barrier function of     the intestinal mucosa
