Poultry-associated Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar 4,12:d:- reveals high clonality and a distinct pathogenicity gene repertoire.

abstract：:To understand the continuous problems that Escherichia coli O157:H7 causes as food pathogen, this study assessed global gene regulation in bacteria growing on meat. Since FlhD/FlhC of E. coli K-12 laboratory strains was previously established as a major control point in transducing signals from the environment to seve...
