Evidence for involvement of the Fas BCAX regulon in capsule synthesis by Streptococcus equi.

Veterinary microbiology - 1 Jun 2018

Velineni Sridhar, Timoney John F

Abstract excerpt

The constitutively expressed hyaluronic acid capsule is an important virulence factor of Streptococcus equi, the cause of equine strangles. Study of the genomic sequence of CF22caps-, a non-encapsulated mutant of S. equi CF22 generated by gamma (Co60) irradiation revealed a non-sense mutation in fasC (SEQ_0302), a sensor kinase gene in FasBCAX an operon with an important regulatory role in expression of...
