Abstract excerpt
Two-component regulatory systems play an important role in bacterial virulence. We report that mutation of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa gene designated retS (previously designated fimK; accession number PA4856) encoding a putative hybrid two-component regulator, attenuates multiple virulence mechanisms. The retS mutant was selected from a Tn5 transposon library of the cytotoxic P. aeruginosa strain PA103 based upon...
