Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous Gram-negative bacterium that can cause severe opportunistic infections. The principal redox buffer employed by this organism is glutathione (GSH). To assess the role of GSH in the virulence of P. aeruginosa, a number of analyses were performed using a mutant strain deficient in gshA, which does not produce GSH. The mutant strain exhibited a growth delay in minimal medium...
