RpoS role in antibiotic resistance, tolerance and persistence in E. coli natural isolates

Abstract Background The intrinsic concentration of RpoS, the second most abundant sigma factor, varies widely across the E. coli species. Bacterial isolates that express high levels of RpoS display high resistance to environmental stresses, such as temperature, pH and osmolarity shifts, but are less...
