Pch Genes Control Biofilm and Cell Adhesion in a Clinical Serotype O157:H7 Isolate

Pch Genes Control Biofilm and Cell Adhesion in a Clinical Serotype O157:H7 Isolate

In a previous study, induction of the Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 SOS response decreased csgD expression in the clinical isolate PA20 at 30°C but strongly induced genes in the horizontally transferred-DNA regions (HTR), including many known virulence regulators. To determine the role of HTR re...
