Abstract excerpt
The yield of exotoxin A from Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been shown to be strain-dependent. Exotoxin A production requires the presence of the positive regulatory gene, regA. We cloned the regA genetic locus from the prototypical P. aeruginosa strain PAO1 and examined its ability to influence exotoxin A yields compared to the same region cloned from the hypertoxin-producing strain, PA103. The P. aeruginosa regA...
