Oxidative stress induces E. coli aryl polyene expression, sensitizing the bacterial stress response and modulating the redox environment of innate immune cells

The data indicate that APEs could act as a UPEC fitness factor, and in future work, it is aimed to study their contribution to overall bacterial pathogenicity and survival, as well as how APEs could facilitate the transition from an oxygen-poor environment, such as the gut, to the oxygen-rich environment of the urinary...
