Abstract excerpt
Copper ion is an essential micronutrient but it is also extremely cytotoxic when it exists in excess. Our studies have shown that Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium can survive potentially lethal copper exposures by the way of copper efflux system. A copper ion inducible gene was identified in virulent S. typhimurium by using the technique of MudJ (Km, lac)-directed lacZYA operon fusions. A copper ion...
