Abstract
En 中文
Archetypal pathogenic bacterial strains are often used to elucidate regulatory networks of an entire pathovar, which encompasses multiple lineages and phylogroups. With enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) as a model system, Hazen and colleagues (mSystems 6:e00024-17, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1128/mSystems.00024-17) used 9 isolates representing 8 lineages and 3 phylogroups to find that isolates with similar genomic sequences exhibit similarities in global transcriptomes under conditions of growth in medium that induces virulence gene expression. They also found variation among individual isolates. Their work illustrates the importance of moving beyond observing regulatory phenomena of a limited number of regulons in a few archetypal strains, with the possibility of correlating clinical symptoms to key transcriptional pathways across lineages and phylogroups.
