Abstract

Determination of the effects of BirA on transcription and virulence in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7. The effect of BirA on EHEC O157:H7 gene expression and phenotypes was assessed by RNA-seq combined with adherence, quantitative biofilm and survival assays. Many genes associated with virulence, amino acid synthesis and transport, and zinc transport were upregulated, whereas genes encoding stress proteins were downregulated in ΔbirA::km+Ac_birA. Accordingly, ΔbirA::km+Ac_birA adhesion to Caco-2 cells, biofilm formation and survival during oxidative stress were higher, whereas its survival during heat shock was lower than that of the wild-type. This study demonstrates the wide-ranging regulatory functions of BirA, especially its role in controlling virulence and stress responses in EHEC O157:H7. [Formula: see text].

Biofilm & Infectious Disease

Biofilm formation is a key virulence factor for a wide range of microorganisms that cause chronic infections.Here is the latest research on biofilm and infectious diseases.

Biofilms

Biofilms are adherent bacterial communities embedded in a polymer matrix and can cause persistent human infections that are highly resistant to antibiotics. Discover the latest research on Biofilms here.
