DctR contributes to the virulence of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli through regulation of type III secretion system 2 expression

Abstract 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:H...
