Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen that primarily infects cystic fibrosis patients. Previously we have reported that mutations in shvR, a LysR-type transcriptional regulator, and ShvR-regulated genes BCAS0208 and BCAS0201 (designated afcE and afcF, respectively) affect colony morphotype, biofilm and pellicle formation and virulence in B. cenocepacia. In this study we investigated the role of...
