Genome-wide Screening Identifies Phosphotransferase System Permease BepA to Be Involved inEnterococcus faeciumEndocarditis and Biofilm Formation
16 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
Enterococcus faecium is a common cause of nosocomial infections, of which infective endocarditis is associated with substantial mortality. In this study, we used a microarray-based transposon mapping (M-TraM) approach to evaluate a rat endocarditis model and identified a gene, originally annotated as "fruA" and renamed "bepA," putatively encoding a carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) permease (biofilm...
