Differential Gene Expression of Three Mastitis-Causing <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content> Strains Grown under Planktonic, Swimming, and Swarming Culture Conditions

ABSTRACT Bacterial motility is thought to play an important role in virulence. We have previously shown that proficient bacterial swimming and swarming in vitro is correlated with the persistent intramammary infection phenotype observed in cattle. However, little is known about the gene regulation d...
