Campylobacter jejuni BumSR directs a response to butyrate via sensor phosphatase activity to impact transcription and colonization

Abstract excerpt

Campylobacter jejuni monitors intestinal metabolites produced by the host and microbiota to initiate intestinal colonization of avian and animal hosts for commensalism and infection of humans for diarrheal disease. We previously discovered that C. jejuni has the capacity to spatially discern different intestinal regions by sensing lactate and the short-chain fatty acids acetate and butyrate and then alter...
