Abstract excerpt
Shigella adhesion to host cells is a transitional stage from an extracellular to an intracellular environment. However, the dynamic adaptations of Shigella during adhesion are poorly understood. To address this, we performed the first transcriptome analysis of Shigella flexneri 2457T during adhesion. A total of 1,757 genes were differentially regulated (>twofold). The majority of plasmid-borne ipa-mxi-spa locus...
