    (Pae) is an opportunistic human pathogen, able to resist host defense mechanisms and antibiotic treatment. In Pae, the master regulator of stress responses RpoS (σ ) is involved in the regulation of quorum sensing and several virulence genes. Here, we report that the sRNA ReaL translationally silences mRNA, which results in a decrease of the RpoS levels. Our studies indicated that ReaL base-pairs with the Shine-Dalgarno region of mRNA. These studies are underlined by a highly similar transcription profile of a deletion mutant and a over-expressing strain.
