Enterococcus faecalis Mammalian Virulence-Related Factors Exhibit Potent Pathogenicity in the Arabidopsis thaliana Plant Model
23 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Some pathogenic bacteria belong to a large, diverse group of species capable of infecting plants, animals, and humans. Enterococcus faecalis is an opportunistic human pathogen capable of infecting patients with a deficient immune system. Here we report that three E. faecalis strains (FA-2-2, V583, and OG1RF) are capable of infecting the leaves and roots of the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana, causing...
