Abstract excerpt
The phoP genetic locus is a two-component regulatory system (phoP-phoQ) that controls the expression of genes essential for Salmonella typhimurium virulence and survival within macrophages. Strains with a phoP constitutive mutation (phenotype PhoPC) showed up to 10-fold greater expression of phoP-activated genes (pag loci) than did strains with a wild-type phoP locus (phenotype PhoP+). While the phoP constitutive...
