Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic differences among closely related bacteria have been largely ascribed to species-specific genes, such as those residing in pathogenicity islands. However, we now report that the differential regulation of homologous genes is the mechanism responsible for the divergence of the enteric bacteria Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli in their ability to make LPS modifications mediating resistance to the...
