Abstract
The uropathogenic Escherichia call strain 536 (O6:K15:H31) possesses p athogenicity islands which are incorporated into two tRNA genes, the s elC and the leuY gene. The leuY gene influences the expression of diff erent putative virulence factors. We demonstrate an effect of the leuX -specific tRNA on adherence and uropathogenicity.
