Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli, a commensal mesophile that primarily inhabits the gastro-intestinal tract, responds to temperature up-shifts with transient expression of stress-response proteins. The goal of this study was to identify adaptive proteins of E. coli O157 crucial for growth resumption of this human pathogen after heat shock, with specific focus on the role of the RpoS sigma factor. Using the comparative proteomic...
