Abstract excerpt
A Campylobacter jejuni two-component signal transduction system (TCSTS), designated dccR-dccS (diminished capacity to colonize; Cj1223c-Cj1222c), has been found to be important for in vivo colonization but dispensable for in vitro growth. A DeltadccR response regulator mutant generated using the virulent strain 81-176 background exhibited significantly reduced colonization of immunocompetent limited flora (I-LF)...
