A Functional Phenylacetic Acid Catabolic Pathway Is Required for Full Pathogenicity of <i>Burkholderia cenocepacia</i> in the <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> Host Model
6 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia cenocepacia is a member of the Burkholderia cepacia complex, a group of metabolically versatile bacteria that have emerged as opportunistic pathogens in cystic fibrosis and immunocompromised patients. Previously a screen of transposon mutants in a rat pulmonary infection model identified an attenuated mutant with an insertion in paaE, a gene related to the phenylacetic acid (PA) catabolic pathway. In...
