TosR-Mediated Regulation of Adhesins and Biofilm Formation in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Uropathogenic E. coli strains cause the majority of UTIs, which are the second most common bacterial infection in humans. During a UTI, bacteria adhere to cells within the urinary tract, using a number of different fimbrial and nonfimbrial adhesins. Biofilms can also develop on the surfaces of cathe...
