Abstract excerpt
Adaptive regulation of gene expression in response to environmental changes is a general property of bacterial pathogens. By screening an ordered transposon mutagenesis library of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we have identified three mutants containing a transposon in the coding sequence or in the 5' regions of genes coding for two-component signal transduction systems (trcS, regX3, prrA). The intracellular...
