Article Synopsis
- Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a dangerous pathogen that uses a system called the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) for adhering to host cells, which is crucial for its infection process.
- A small regulatory RNA named Esr41 suppresses the expression of LEE while simultaneously activating flagellar genes, helping EHEC evade the host's immune response and enhancing its mobility.
- Esr41 functions in an Hfq-dependent manner, meaning it relies on an RNA-binding protein to carry out its roles, highlighting its significant impact on regulating bacterial behavior and infection capability.
