PhoB Activates Escherichia coli O157:H7 Virulence Factors in Response to Inorganic Phosphate Limitation
7 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), an emerging food- and water-borne hazard, is highly pathogenic to humans. In the environment, EHEC must survive phosphate (Pi) limitation. The response to such Pi starvation is an induction of the Pho regulon including the Pst system that senses Pi variation. The interplay between the virulence of EHEC, Pho-Pst system and environmental Pi remains unknown. To understand...
