dc.description.abstractIn 2011, in Germany, Escherichia coli O104:H4 caused the enterohemorrhagic E coli (EHEC) outbreak with the highest incidence rate of hemolytic uremic syndrome. This pathogen carries an exceptionally potent combination of EHEC- and enteroaggregative E coli (EAEC)–specific virulence factors. Here, we identified an E coli O104:H4 isolate that carried a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the start codon (ATG > ATA) of rpoS, encoding the alternative sigma factor S. The rpoS ATG > ATA SNP was associated with enhanced EAEC-specific virulence gene expression. Deletion of rpoS in E coli O104:H4 Δstx2 and typical EAEC resulted in a similar effect. Both rpoS ATG > ATA and ΔrpoS strains exhibited stronger virulence-related phenotypes in comparison to wild type. Using promoter-reporter gene fusions, we demonstrated that wild-type RpoS repressed aggR, encoding the main regulator of EAEC virulence. In summary, our work demonstrates that RpoS acts as a global repressor of E coli O104:H4 virulence, primarily through an AggR-dependent mechanism.
