Abstract excerpt
Leucine-responsive regulatory protein (Lrp) is a global gene regulator that influences expression of a large number of genes including virulence-related genes in Escherichia coli and Salmonella. No systematic studies examining the regulation of virulence genes by Lrp have been reported in Salmonella. We report here that constitutive expression of Lrp [lrp(Con)] dramatically attenuates Salmonella virulence while...
