Analysis of pili heterogeneity and regulation in Enterococcus faecalis
Enterococcus faecalis undergoes phase variation to regulate the number of cells expressing pili, a characteristic virulence factor, allowing it to evade a host immune response. Understanding phase variation is important for the development of therapeutic strategies against pili. Preliminary RNA sequ...
