YgeP, a global regulator within the ETT2 pathogenicity island, coordinates motility-biofilm balance and negatively controls serum resistance in avian pathogenic Escherichia coli.
YgeP plays a central role in APEC pathogenesis by balancing two infection strategies: motility-mediated dissemination and colonization, and biofilm-mediated attachment and tolerance, and negatively regulates key virulence traits during the early stages of infection.
