DksA coordinates bile-mediated regulation of virulence-associated phenotypes in type three secretion system-positive Vibrio cholerae.

Abstract excerpt

In order to cause disease, pathogenic strains of Vibrio cholerae rely on intricate regulatory networks to orchestrate the transition between their native aquatic environment and the human host. For example, bacteria in a nutrient-starved environment undergo a metabolic shift called the stringent response, which is mediated by the alarmone ppGpp and an RNA-polymerase binding transcriptional factor, DksA. In O1...
