RfaH is Essential for Virulence and Adaptive Responses in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis Infection

Joram Kiriga Waititu, Kristina L. Nilsson, Gerald J Larrouy-Maumus, Tiago R. D. Costa, Kemal Avican

This study shows RfaH is essential for Yersinia pseudotuberculosis virulence and adaptation, as its loss reduces virulence and impairs persistent infection.
