Burkholderia cenocepacia Requires a Periplasmic HtrA Protease for Growth under Thermal and Osmotic Stress and for Survival In Vivo
13 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia cenocepacia, a member of the B. cepacia complex, is an opportunistic pathogen that causes serious infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. We identified a six-gene cluster in chromosome 1 encoding a two-component regulatory system (BCAL2831 and BCAL2830) and an HtrA protease (BCAL2829) hypothesized to play a role in the B. cenocepacia stress response. Reverse transcriptase PCR analysis of these...
