Abstract excerpt
The PhoP-PhoQ two-component system is necessary for the virulence of Salmonella spp. and is responsible for regulating several modifications of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Mutagenesis of the transcriptional regulator phoP resulted in the identification of a mutant able to activate transcription of regulated genes approximately 100-fold in the absence of PhoQ. Sequence analysis showed two single-base alterations...
