Identification ofStreptococcus suisgenes preferentially expressed under iron starvation by selective capture of transcribed sequences
14 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is a zoonotic Gram-positive bacterium responsible for arthritis, meningitis, pneumonia and septicemia in swine and humans. Little information about the regulation of iron on its gene expression had been reported. In this study, 63 S. suis genes upregulated under an iron-restricted condition were identified using selective capture of transcribed sequences (SCUTS) technique: 23 genes...
