Plasmid parB contributes to uropathogenic Escherichia coli colonization in vivo by acting on biofilm formation and global gene regulation

The endogenous plasmid pUTI89 harbored by the uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strain UTI89 plays an important role in the acute stage of infection. The partitioning gene parB is important for stable inheritance of pUTI89. However, the function of partitioning genes located on the plasmid in pa...
