Assessing the transcriptional responses of E. coli in co-culture with K. pneumoniae and E. faecalis in relation to quorum sensing and entrance into viable but nonculturable state

In this study, the influences of two non-Escherichia coli species – Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterococcus faecalis, on the regulation of VBNC and quorum sensing- related gene expression were assessed in a co-culture context by analyzing the differential promoter activities of a subset of genes. The...
