Iron is an essential element for Escherichia, Salmonella, and Shigella species. The
acquisition of sufficient amounts of iron is difficult in many environments, including the …

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae causes liver abscess and potentially devastating
metastatic complications. The majority of Klebsiella-induced liver abscess are caused by the …

Infection is a complicated balance, with both pathogen and host struggling to tilt the result in
their favour. Bacterial infection biology has relied on forward genetics for many of its …

Trans-encoded sRNA154 is exclusively expressed under nitrogen (N)-deficiency in
Methanosarcina mazei strain Gö1. The sRNA154 deletion strain showed a significant …

Abstract Background Citrobacter species are Gram-negative opportunistic pathogens
commonly reported in nosocomial-acquired infections. This study characterised four …

Pathogenicity islands and plasmids bear genes for pathogenesis of various Escherichia coli
pathotypes. Although there is a basic understanding of the contribution of these virulence …

Small RNA (sRNA)-mediated regulation of gene expression is a major tool to understand
bacterial responses to environmental changes. In particular, pathogenic bacteria employ …

The survival strategies that Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) employ throughout its
transmission and infection life cycles remain largely elusive. Specifically, there is a lack of …

Highlights•sRNAs regulate gene expression in major foodborne pathogens, also during
infection.•Base pairing sRNAs control mRNA expression via diverse mechanisms of …

Small bacterial regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) have been implicated in the regulation of
numerous metabolic pathways. In most of these studies, sRNA-dependent regulation of …
