Ail expression in Yersinia enterocolitica is affected by oxygen tension.

RESUMO
We investigated several environmental factors for their abilities to regulate ail gene expression and found that ail transcript levels are regulated by oxygen tension. Bacteria growing under anaerobiosis at 37 degrees C repress ail mRNA and Ail expression, resulting in a loss of Ail-mediated serum resistance and cell invasion.
