Hfq affects the expression of the LEE pathogenicity island in enterohaemorrhagic <i>Escherichia coli</i>
29 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
Colonization of the intestinal epithelium by enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is characterized by an attaching and effacing (A/E) histopathology. The locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) pathogenicity island encodes many genes required for the A/E phenotype including the global regulator of EHEC virulence gene expression, Ler. The LEE is subject to a complex regulatory network primarily targeting ler...
