The Ferritin-Like Dps Protein Is Required for <i>Salmonella enterica</i> Serovar Typhimurium Oxidative Stress Resistance and Virulence
24 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to phagocyte-derived reactive oxygen species is essential for Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium pathogenesis. Salmonella can enhance its resistance to oxidants through the induction of specific genetic pathways controlled by SoxRS, OxyR, sigma(S), sigma(E), SlyA, and RecA. These regulons can be found in a wide variety of pathogenic and environmental bacteria, suggesting that evolutionarily...
