Mutations in the cueA gene encoding a copper homeostasis P-type ATPase reduce the pathogenicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in mice
1 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
A sequencing project identified a putative copper homeostasis gene, cueA, in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO1. Strains with mutations of the cueA gene, encoding a P-type ATPase linked to copper homeostasis in P. putida, displayed greater sensitivity to copper compared to wild-type bacteria using MIC determinations and in vitro passage in growth media with different concentrations of copper added. An LD50 assay...
