to both commensal and pathogenic strains, that is most likely optimized to a life style …

Cattle that excrete more Escherichia coli O157 than others are known as super-shedders.
Super-shedding has important consequences for the epidemiology of E. coli O157 in cattle …

In bacteria, Hfq is a core RNA chaperone that catalyzes the interaction of mRNAs with
regulatory small RNAs (sRNAs). To determine in vivo RNA sequence requirements for Hfq …
