Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic Escherichia coli 4787 (O115:KV165) causes septicemia in pigs and expresses the fimbriae F165(1) encoded by the foo operon that belongs to the P fimbrial family. fooI and fooB, encoding specific foo regulators, are divergently transcribed; their intergenic region is responsible for the regulation of foo expression. The role of global and local supercoiling (transcription-induced supercoiling within the...
