CovS Simultaneously Activates and Inhibits the CovR-Mediated Repression of Distinct Subsets of Group A <i>Streptococcus</i> Virulence Factor-Encoding Genes
19 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
To colonize and cause disease at distinct anatomical sites, bacterial pathogens must tailor gene expression in a microenvironment-specific manner. The molecular mechanisms that control the ability of the human bacterial pathogen group A Streptococcus (GAS) to transition between infection sites have yet to be fully elucidated. A key regulator of GAS virulence gene expression is the CovR-CovS two-component...
