A glycine betaine importer limitsSalmonellastress resistance and tissue colonization by reducing trehalose production
29 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
Mechanisms by which Salmonella establish chronic infections are not well understood. Microbes respond to stress by importing or producing compatible solutes, small molecules that stabilize proteins and lipids. The Salmonella locus opuABCD (also called OpuC) encodes a predicted importer of the compatible solute glycine betaine. Under stress conditions, if glycine betaine cannot be imported, Salmonella enterica...
