Comparative transcriptomic analysis by RNA-seq of Acid Tolerance Response (ATR) in EHEC O157:H7

ATR in EHEC O157:H7 and the cross-protection effects thus induced lead to the uncertainty of food safety. This study aimed to identify factors that are associated with the ATR in EHEC O157:H7 under stomach acidity using RNA-seq. In total, 223 DEGs in E. coli O157:H7 and 110 DEGs in E. coli after acid treatment were identified, including 118 upregulated and 105 downregulated in EHEC O157:H7, and 89 upregulated and 21 downregulated in E. coli ATCC...
