Abstract excerpt
The stationary-phase sigma factor (RpoS) regulates many cellular responses to environmental stress conditions such as heat, acid, and alkali shocks. On the other hand, mutations at the rpoS locus have frequently been detected among pathogenic as well as commensal strains of Escherichia coli. The objective of this study was to perform a functional analysis of the RpoS-mediated stress responses of enterohemorrhagic...
