Inactivation of Genes Encoding MutL and MutS Proteins Influences Adhesion and Biofilm Formation by Neisseria gonorrhoeae
4 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an etiological agent of gonorrhea, which remains a global health problem. This bacterium possesses MutL and MutS DNA repair proteins encoded by mutL and mutS genes, whose inactivation causes a mutator phenotype. We have demonstrated the differential gene expression in N. gonorrhoeae mutL and mutS mutants using DNA microarrays. A subset of differentially expressed genes encodes proteins...
