摘要： Avian pathogenicEscherichia coli(APEC) is a subgroup of extra-intestinal pathogenicE. coli(ExPEC) strains that cause avian colibacillosis, resulting in significant economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide. It has been reported that a few two-component signal transduction systems (TCS) participate in the regulation of the virulence factors of APEC infection. In this study, abasSR-deficient mutant strain was constructed from its parent strain APECX40 (WT), and high-throughput sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to analyse the transcriptional profile of WT and its mutant strain XY1. Results showed that the deletion ofbasSRdown-regulated the transcript levels of a series of biofilm- and virulence-related genes. Results of biofilm formation assays and bird model experiments indicated that the deletion ofbasSRinhibited biofilm formationin vitroand decreased bacterial virulence and colonizationin vivo. In addition, electrophoretic mobility shift assays confirmed that the BasR protein could bind to the promoter regions of several biofilm- and virulence-related genes, includingais,opgCandfepA. This study suggests that the BasSR TCS might be a global regulator in the pathogenesis of APEC infection.
