Formation of phenotypic lineages in Salmonella enterica by a pleiotropic fimbrial switch
The std locus of Salmonella enterica, an operon acquired by horizontal transfer, encodes fimbriae that permit adhesion to epithelial cells in the large intestine. Expression of the std operon is bistable, yielding a major subpopulation of Std(OFF) cells (99.7%) and a minor subpopulation of Std(ON) c...
