Abstract excerpt
Bordetella bronchiseptica is a pathogenic bacterium that causes respiratory infections in mammals. Adhesins, toxins, and secretion systems necessary for infection are regulated by the two-component system BvgAS. When the BvgAS system is inactive, there is no transcription of virulence-activated genes, and virulence-repressed genes (vrg) are expressed. The regulation of some vrgs in B. bronchiseptica is dependent...
