Abstract

Induction of the Eut (ethanolamine utilisation) operon encoding microcompartment-mediated ethanolamine metabolism is known to confer a competitive metabolic advantage on pathogenic E. coli and Salmonella in the mammalian gut. We investigated a metabolic role for Eut in E. coli urinary tract infection.
