The Small RNA MicC is a Multifunctional Regulator of Extraintestinal Pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> Fitness across Multiple Host Niches
2026-07-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Small non-coding RNAs (sRNA) modulate diverse bacterial functions ranging from carbon metabolism to virulence gene expression. Previous research showed that the sRNA chaperone Hfq is critical for the fitness of Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), a major cause of both bloodstream and urinary tract infections (UTI). Using the reference ExPEC strain UTI89, we created deletion mut...
