Burkholderia cenocepacia ShvR-Regulated Genes That Influence Colony Morphology, Biofilm Formation, and Virulence
21 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen that primarily infects cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Previously, we reported that ShvR, a LysR regulator, influences colony morphology, virulence, and biofilm formation and regulates the expression of an adjacent 24-kb genomic region encoding 24 genes. In this study, we report the functional characterization of selected genes in this region. A Tn5 mutant with...
