Dynamic response by commensal E. coli two-component system Cpx contributes to C. elegans development
Our results illustrate that environmental factors can shape the regulation of the E. coli Cpx response to C. elegans, providing new evidence for why Cpx-mediated virulence phenotypes are inconsistent among gram-negative species in different ecological niches.
