HighlightsBacterial pathogens sense cues in the host environment to coordinate gene expression and establish infection.Post-transcriptional and-translational gene regulation integrate host signals to enhance pathogen adaptation to the host.The attaching and effacing pathogens rely on small RNA-based regulation and control of protein activity to enhance virulence.To establish infection, enteric pathogens integrate environmental cues to navigate the gastrointestinal tract and precisely control expression of virulence determinants. Emerging data indicate that post-transcriptional and post-translational gene regulation plays a key role in virulence regulation and pathogen adaptation to the host environment. Here, we highlight recent studies that reveal how physiologically relevant signals initiate post-transcriptional and post-translational regulatory circuits and the impact on virulence gene expression in the attaching and effacing pathogens, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157: H7, and Citrobacter rodentium.
