The inner membrane protein YhiM links copper and CpxAR envelope stress responses in uropathogenic E. coli

ABSTRACTUrinary tract infection (UTI) is a ubiquitous infectious condition, and uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the predominant causative agent of UTI. Copper (Cu) is implicated in innate immunity, including against UPEC. Cu is a trace element utilized as a co-factor, but excess Cu is toxic...
