Abstract Background Photorhabdus luminescens and Yersinia enterocolitica are both
enteric bacteria which are associated with insects. P. luminescens lives in symbiosis with …

Enteropathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica bioserotype 4/O: 3 are the most frequent cause of
human yersiniosis worldwide with symptoms ranging from mild diarrhea to severe …

Pathogens, which alternate between environmental reservoirs and a mammalian host,
frequently use thermal sensing devices to adjust virulence gene expression. Here, we …

One hallmark of pathogenic yersiniae is their ability to rapidly adjust their life-style and
pathogenesis upon host entry. In order to capture the range, magnitude and complexity of …

Type III secretion systems (T3SS) are essential for virulence in dozens of pathogens, but are
not required for growth outside the host. Therefore, the T3SS of many bacterial species are …

The ompS1 gene encodes a quiescent porin in Salmonella enterica. We analysed the
effects of H‐NS and StpA, a paralogue of H‐NS, on ompS1 expression. In an hns single …

RcsB is the response regulator of the complex Rcs two-component system, which senses
perturbations in the outer membrane and peptidoglycan layer. BglJ is a transcriptional …

We report the first investigation of the binding of the Salmonella enterica LeuO LysR‐type
transcription regulator to its genomic targets in vivo. Chromatin‐immunoprecipitation‐on …

Many enteric pathogens are equipped with multiple cell adhesion factors which are
important for host tissue colonization and virulence. Y. enterocolitica, a common food-borne …

LeuO is a LysR-type transcriptional regulator that has been implicated in the bacterial
stringent response and in the virulence of Salmonella. A genomic analysis with Salmonella …
