The prevalence of tcpC, encoding a new Toll/interteukin-1 receptor domain-containing protein involved in suppression of innate immunity was investigated among a collection of pathogenic E. coli strains and 90 commensal E. coli strains. Statistically significant associations were found between the presence of tcpC and the B2 phylogenetic group as well as virulence factors cnf1, hlyA, papGIII, sfaDE and usp.
