Role of the small RNA RyhB in the Fur regulon in mediating the capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis and iron acquisition systems in <it>Klebsiella pneumoniae</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) and iron acquisition systems are important determinants of <it>Klebsiella pneumoniae</it> infections, and we have previously reported that the ferric uptake repressor (Fur) can play dual...
