Abstract excerpt
K-12 strain MG1655 displayed significantly reduced intracellular bacterial loads within human macrophages. To investigate whether the intramacrophage zinc stress response of EC958 reflected the response of only a subpopulation of bacteria, we generated and validated reporter systems as highly specific sensors of zinc stress. Using these tools we show that, in contrast to MG1655, the majority of intramacrophage...
