Characterization of two distinct phospholipase C enzymes from Burkholderia pseudomallei
25 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia pseudomallei is a serious bacterial pathogen that can cause a lethal infection in humans known as melioidosis. In this study two of its phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes (Plc-1 and Plc-2) were characterized. Starting with a virulent strain, two single mutants were constructed, each with one plc gene inactivated, and one double mutant with both plc genes inactivated. The single plc mutants exhibited...
