Abstract excerpt
Induction of invasion gene transcription and expression of the invasive phenotype of Salmonella strains are regulated by environmental conditions. Experimental evidence indicates that oxygen, pH, and osmotic conditions need to closely resemble those of the host intestinal lumen for invasion gene activation. The hilA gene, encoded on Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1), is a transcriptional activator which...
