Expression of the Yersinia enterocolitica pYV-Encoded Type III Secretion System Is Modulated by Lipopolysaccharide O-Antigen Status

Abstract
We show that the expression of a Yersinia enterocolitica O:8 pYV-encoded type III secretion system was altered in a rough mutant (YeO8-R) due to elevated levels of FlhDC. H-NS might underlie flhDC upregulation in YeO8-R, and the data suggest a relationship between the absence of O antigen and the expression of H-NS.
