Abstract excerpt
Shigella flexneri is an important etiological agent of bacillary dysentery in developing countries. The Hfq protein is thought to play a major regulatory role in various cellular processes in this organism. However, the roles of Hfq in stress tolerance and virulence in S. flexneri in response to environmental stress have not been fully studied. In this study, hfq was highly expressed when S. flexneri was exposed...
