Abstract excerpt
The two-component system BvgAS positively controls transcription of the virulence genes of Bordetella pertussis and B. bronchiseptica, which include several genes for toxins and adhesins. On the other hand, the BvgAS system negatively controls the expression of a poorly characterized set of genes, the so-called virulence repressed ( vrg) genes. To investigate the function of this group of genes and their...
