Abstract excerpt
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium encounters antimicrobial peptides (AP) within the phagosomes of professional phagocytes and at intestinal mucosal surfaces. Salmonella serovar Typhimurium utilizes the two-component regulatory system PmrA-PmrB, which is activated in response to the environmental conditions encountered in vivo, to regulate resistance to several AP, including polymyxin B (PM). Random MudJ...
