Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to comprehensively identify the target genes regulated by the RNA polymerase-binding transcription factor DksA in Escherichia coli, and to clarify the role of DksA in multi-drug resistance. A clinical E. coli strain, E8, was selected to construct the dksA gene deletion mutant by using the Red recombination system. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of 12 antibiotics in the...
