Defects in Polynucleotide phosphorylase impairs virulence in Escherichia coli O157:H7
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) is reported to regulate virulence in Salmonella, Yersinia spp. and Campylobacter jejuni, yet its role in Escherichia coli O157:H7 has not been investigated. To gain insights into its roles in E. coli O157:H7 virulence, pnp deletion mutants were generated and the...
