Complex Multilevel Control of Hemolysin Production by Uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Complex Multilevel Control of Hemolysin Production by Uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) is the major cause of urinary tract infections and a frequent cause of sepsis. Nearly half of all UPEC strains produce the potent cytotoxin hemolysin, and its expression is associated with enhanced virulence. In this study, we explored hemolysin variation within the glob...
