We investigated the influence of regulatory and pathogenicity island-associated factors
(Hha, RpoS, LuxS, EvgA, RfaH, and tRNA5Leu) on biofilm formation by uropathogenic …

Urinary tract infections primarily caused by uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli)
remain a significant public health problem in both developed and developing countries. An …

Although molecular mechanisms promoting adherence of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia
coli (EHEC) O157: H7 on epithelial cells are well characterized, regulatory mechanisms …

Type 1 fimbriae of Escherichia coli facilitate attachment to the host mucosa and promote
biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces. The transcriptional regulator LrhA, which is known as a …

The global transcriptional regulator Hha of Escherichia coli controls biofilm formation and
virulence. Previously, we showed that Hha decreases initial biofilm formation; here, we …

Biofilms contribute to virulence of Staphylococcus aureus. Formation of biofilms is
multifactorial, involving polysaccharide, protein, and DNA components, which are controlled …

Transcription of the agn43 locus, which specifies an outer membrane protein of Escherichia
coli, is regulated in a phase‐variable fashion by the OxyR–DNA binding protein and Dam …

CsgD, the master regulator of biofilm formation, activates the synthesis of curli fimbriae and
extracellular polysaccharides in Escherichia coli. To obtain insights into its regulatory role …

Escherichia coli is one of the most frequent bacteria implicated in biofilm formation, which is
a dynamic process whose first step consists in bacteria adhesion to surfaces through type 1 …

LeuO, the regulator of leucine biosynthesis operon of Escherichia coli, is involved in the
regulation of as yet unspecified genes affecting the stress response and pathogenesis …
