Popis: Many enteric bacteria use bile as an environmental cue to signal resistance and virulence gene expression. Microarray analysis of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC) treated with bile salts revealed upregulation of genes for an efflux system ( acrAB ), a two-component signal transduction system ( basRS / pmrAB ), and lipid A modification ( arnBCADTEF and ugd ). Bile salt treatment of EHEC produced a basS - and arnT -dependent resistance to polymyxin.
