Complex Multilevel Control of Hemolysin Production by Uropathogenic <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content>

ABSTRACT Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the major cause of urinary tract infections. Nearly half of all UPEC strains secrete hemolysin, a cytotoxic pore-forming toxin.
