The tellurite resistance gene cluster of pathogenic bacteria and its effect on oxidative stress response

Abstract excerpt

Tellurite resistance gene clusters have been identified in numerous pathogenic bacteria, including clinical isolates of Escherichia coli. The rareness of tellurium in host organisms and the noncontaminated environment raises a question about the true functionality of tellurite resistance gene clusters in pathogenesis and their possible contribution to bacterial fitness. The study aims to point out the beneficial...
