type one diabetes and cross-targeting autoimmunity update

Type one diabetes and the infections of the pancreas. What are the cross-targeting culprits? Does one infection cross-targeted with a virus in the pancreas trigger the autoimmune disease? Like Candida and the flu?

Eisenbarth's Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 1 (APS-I)

Candida infects the pancreas

Eisenbarth's APS-2 could be bacterial infections  of the pancreas

E.coli infects the pancreas directly

History of bladder infections in celiac patients
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22185967
note that e.coli often causes bladder infections...so does e.coli have the ability to generate anti-insulin or does it infect the pancreas directly?

Mycoplasmas from Lupus/rheumatoid arthritis infects the pancreas directly

But the autoimmunity does not develop until cross-targeting occurs with a virus
Now for the Viruses:
The flu virus replicates in the pancreas and so does the coxsackie virus.

Interesting 2013 article that supports the celiac and Ecoli connection:
