Loss of RpoS results in attenuated Escherichia coli colonization of human intestinal organoids and a competitive disadvantage within the germ-free mouse intestine

This study shows that E. coli lacking RpoS has reduced colonization ability in human intestinal organoids but not in germ-free mice, indicating different stress environments in these models.
