ECF Sigma Factor HxuI Is Critical for In Vivo Fitness of Pseudomonas aeruginosa during Infection

ABSTRACT The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa often adapts to its host environment and causes recurrent nosocomial infections. The extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor enables bacteria to alter their gene expression in response to host environmental stimuli. Here, we report an E...
