The study investigated the effect of different carbon sources on E. coli global gene expression. We grew MG1655 cells aerobically in MOPS minimal medium with either glucose, glycerol, succinate, L-ala
To investigate the factors involved in the transition from intestinal commensal E. coli to invasive isolates causing blood-stream infections, we analyzed E. coli blood culture isolates and E. coli iso
Escherichia coli were isolated from a barley trial, supplemented with bulky fertilisers: compost and bovine slurry. E. coli were isolated from bulk soil, barley roots, barley grain or clover roots. Th
