The LuxS/AI-2 quorum sensing mechanism can regulate the physiological functions of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) through internalization of the small molecule autoinducer-2 (AI-2). The ptsI gene encodes enzyme I, which participates in the phosphotransferase system (PTS) that regulates the virulence and AI-2 internalization of bacteria. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of ptsI on AI-2 internalization and other pathogenesis process in APEC using a ptsI mutant of the APEC strain DE17 (serotype O2), namely DE17ΔptsI.
