Activation of the RpoN-RpoS regulatory pathway during the enzootic life cycle of Borrelia burgdorferi
23 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The maintenance of Borrelia burgdorferi in its complex tick-mammalian enzootic life cycle is dependent on the organism's adaptation to its diverse niches. To this end, the RpoN-RpoS regulatory pathway in B. burgdorferi plays a central role in microbial survival and Lyme disease pathogenesis by up- or down-regulating the expression of a number of virulence-associated outer membrane lipoproteins in...
