Abstract excerpt
Expression of the Escherichia coli K5 antigen was used as a model system to study the role of known regulators of gene expression on production of group II capsules in E. coli. Only mutations in the rfaH gene had an effect on production of the K5 antigen, abolishing the expression of any detectab...
