Resumen:
Salmonella cuiD strains form mucoid colonies on copper-containing solid media. We show here that this
multiaggregative behavior is caused by the Rcs-dependent induction of colanic acid extracellular polysaccharide.
Deletion of cps operon genes in a cuiD strain increased the sensitivity to copper, indicating a role for
colanic acid in copper resistance
