Transcriptional and Translational Inhibitors Block SOS Response and Shiga Toxin Expression in Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli
11 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
Shiga toxins (Stx) induce the symptoms of the life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and are the main virulence factors of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). The bacterial SOS response is the essential signal for high level production and release of Stx1/2. To assess the potential effectiveness of different antibiotics in blocking SOS response and Stx1/2 production, we constructed a reporter...
