YeiE Regulates Motility and Gut Colonization in Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhimurium
T. L. Westerman, Michael McClelland, Johanna R. Elfenbein
Abstract
The ability to finely tune virulence factor gene expression is required for bacterial pathogens to successfully colonize a host. Flagellum-mediated motility is critical for many gut pathogens to establish productive infections.
