Pathogen and host adapt pH responses during enteric infection
2024-01-05
Abstract excerpt
Enteric pathogens navigate distinct regional micro-environments within the intestine which cue important adaptive behaviours. We investigated the response of Citrobacter rodentium , a model of human pathogenic Escherichia coli infection, to regional gastrointestinal pH. We found that small intestinal pH (4.4-4.8) triggered virulence gene expression and altered cell morphology, supporting initial intestinal attac...
