Phage-encoded sRNA counteracts xenogeneic silencing in pathogenic E. coli
A prophage-encoded small RNA, HnrS, is identified that functions as an anti-silencing factor by targeting the H-NS paralogue Hha, thereby modulating Hha–H-NS repression of virulence loci including the LEE type III secretion system.
