The virulence regulator bvgS controls nutrient-induced filamentation in Bordetella avium.

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria can change morphology in response to stressors and changes in their environment, including infection of a host. We previously identified the bacterial species, Bordetella atropi, which uses nutrient-induced filamentation as a novel mechanism for cell-to-cell spreading in the intestinal epithelial cells of a nematode host. To further investigate the conservation of nutrient-induced filamentation in...
