A novel two-component signaling system facilitates uropathogenic Escherichia coli's ability to exploit abundant host metabolites.
Two-component signaling systems (TCSs) are major mechanisms by which bacteria adapt to environmental conditions. It follows then that TCSs would play important roles in the adaptation of pathogenic bacteria to host environments. However, no pathogen-associated TCS has been identified in uropathogeni...
