A thorough understanding of the mechanisms of Rcs and EnvZ/OmpR phosphorelay systems that allow Yersinia enterocolitica to thrive in various environments is crucial to prevent and control Y. enterocolitica infections. In this study, we showed that RcsB and OmpR have the ability to function differently in modulating a diverse array of physiological processes in Y. enterocolitica. The rcsB mutant stimulated flagella biosynthesis and increased motility, biofilm formation and c-di-GMP production by upregulating flhDC, hmsHFRS and hmsT. However, mutation in ompR exhibited a non-motile phenotype due to the lack of flagella. Biofilm formation was reduced and less c-di-GMP was produced through the downregulation of flhDC, hmsHFRS and hmsT expression when Y. enterocolitica was exposed to low osmolarity conditions. Furthermore, OmpR was identified to be important for Y. enterocolitica to grow in extreme temperature conditions. Importantly, ompR mutation in Y. enterocolitica were more sensitive to polymyxin B and SDS than rcsB mutation were. Since motility, biofilm formation and environmental tolerance are critical for bacterial colonization of the host, these findings indicated that OmpR is more critical than RcsB in shaping the pathogenic phenotype of Y. enterocolitica.
