Transcriptional analysis of virulence-related genes in enterococci from distinct origins
5 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The role of enterococci in food fermentation and as probiotics counteracts with their increasing importance as human pathogens. Over the years, several virulence factors have been described, mainly in clinical strains but also in food isolates. However, differential expression of such traits may modulate the pathogenic potential of the harbouring enterococci. To further unravel such differential response,...
