Expression of Wild-Type rcsB Gene Under the pBAD Promoter Restores Capsule Production in Escherichia coli rcsB Mutant and Permits Normal Cell Morphology

Previous studies have been inconclusive whether increased capsule size directly confers antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli. In this study, rcs B gene expression was upregulated using the vector araBAD promoter and induction with varying concentrations of L-arabinose to det...
