Small RNAs (sRNAs) are responsible for the swift conditiondependent posttranscriptional regulation of numerous cellular processes, such as stress responses, cell division, quorum sensing, or virulence (Storz et al., 2011). Thanks to the emergence of high-throughput sequencing approaches, the field has progressed rapidly, in particular in model enterobacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica (Hör et al., 2018(Hör et al., , 2020. The uncovered sRNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms are very diverse and range from intermolecular interaction of the sRNA with the translation initiation region of a target mRNA to more unconventional mechanisms
