Polyphosphate Kinase 1 Is a Pathogenesis Determinant in Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7

The ppk1 gene encodes polyphosphate kinase (PPK1), which is the major catalytic enzyme that Escherichia coli utilizes to synthesize inorganic polyphosphate (polyP). The aim of this study was to explore the role of PPK1 in the pathogenesis of Enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 (EHEC O157:H7). An isoge...
