Expression of urease does not affect the ability of Bordetella bronchiseptica to colonise and persist in the murine respiratory tract.

Abstract excerpt

To investigate the role played by urease during the Bordetella bronchiseptica infection process, the ability to colonise and persist in the mouse respiratory tract of a urease-negative B. bronchiseptica BB7865 and a BB7865 derivative constitutively expressing urease was compared with that of the wild-type strain. The results obtained showed that neither constitutive expression nor abolishment of urease activity...
