Culture of the stool grows nonlactose- fermenting, gram-negative bacilli. Which of the following is the most likely mechanism of the pathogenesis of this infection? A) Antigen-antibody complexes B) Immune response to cross-reactive antigens C) Invasion of colonic mucosa D) Multiplication in the Peyer's patches E) Toxin binding to small intestinal mucosa
