The Bacterial Signal Molecule, ppGpp, Mediates the Environmental Regulation of Both the Invasion and Intracellular Virulence Gene Programs of Salmonella
12 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
During infection of mammalian hosts, facultative intracellular pathogens have to adjust rapidly to different environmental conditions encountered during passage through the gastrointestinal tract and following uptake into epithelial cells and macrophages. Successful establishment within the host therefore requires the coordinated expression of a large number of virulence genes necessary for the adaptation between...
