ModA2 Phasevarion Switching in Nontypeable<i>Haemophilus influenzae</i>Increases the Severity of Experimental Otitis Media
10 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
Several human-adapted bacterial pathogens use a phasevarion (ie, a phase-variable regulon) to rapidly and reversibly regulate the expression of many genes, which include known virulence factors, yet the influence of phasevarion-mediated regulation in pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Here we examine the impact of the nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) ModA2 phasevarion on pathogenesis and disease...
