Identification of the general stress stimulon related to colonization in Enterococcus faecalis.

This study identified the general stress stimulon related to infection: when the commensal bacterium initiates its response to stress related to infection, it increases its ability to survive to rough conditions for colonization, rather than promoting expression of virulence factors, and becomes this opportunistic pathogen that thrives in hospital settings.
