Burkholderia cenocepacia requires RpoE for growth under stress conditions and delay of phagolysosomal fusion in macrophages
28 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen causing serious infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. The widespread distribution of this bacterium in the environment suggests that it must adapt to stress to be able to survive. We identified in B. cenocepacia K56-2 a gene predicted to encode RpoE, the extra-cytoplasmic stress response regulator. The rpoE gene is the first gene of a predicted operon...
