The GadX regulon affects virulence gene expression and adhesion of porcine enteropathogenic Escherichia coli in vitro

The ability of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) to express virulence factor genes and develop attaching and effacing (AE) lesions is inhibited in acidic environmental conditions. This inhibition is due to the activation of transcription factor GadX, which upregulates expression of glutamic a...
