The Transcriptional Regulator RovS Controls the Attachment of <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i> to Human Epithelial Cells and the Expression of Virulence Genes
20 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus agalactiae is part of the normal flora of the human gastrointestinal tract and also the leading cause of bacterial infections in human newborns and immunocompromised adults. The colonization and infection of different regions within the human host require a regulatory network in S. agalactiae that senses environmental stimuli and controls the formation of specific virulence factors. In the present...
