Acid stress damage of DNA is prevented by Dps binding in Escherichia coli O157:H7

BACKGROUND: Acid tolerance in Escherichia coli O157:H7 contributes to persistence in its bovine host and is thought to promote passage through the gastric barrier of humans. Dps (DNA-binding protein in starved cells) mutants of E. coli have reduced acid tolerance when compared to the parent strain a...
