DctR contributes to the virulence of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli through regulation of type III secretion system 2 expression
6 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Pathogens could precisely alter their gene expression to facilitate their survival and successful infection. The LuxR family transcriptional regulator DctR (also known as YhiF) was shown to participate in the regulation of acid fitness and adhesion of enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) O157:H7. Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) causes significant economic losses to the poultry industries and also potentially...
