Abstract excerpt
The intracellular survival in mouse peritoneal macrophages of 8 Enterococcus faecalis response regulator mutants was tested to assess if the corresponding 2-component signal transduction systems (TCS) are involved in the ability of E. faecalis to survive in macrophages. Three mutants (err04, err05 and err06) are more susceptible than the wild-type JH2-2 strain and 1 is more resistant (err10). Then,...
