Abstract excerpt
Analysis of the complete sequence of the genome of Clostridium perfringens strain 13 resulted in identification of five genes, including pfoA (encoding theta toxin) and vrr (encoding VirR/VirS-regulated RNA), with consensus VirR-binding sequences upstream of the open reading frame (ORF), suggesting that expression of these genes may be regulated directly by the two-component VirR/VirS system. To test this...
