Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To disclose Proteus mirabilis copper detoxification mechanisms, we performed Tn5-mutagenesis and an hha gene-disrupted mutant was isolated, exhibiting increased copper sensitivity. We investigated the role of Hha in P. mirabilis, focusing on the virulence aspects. METHODS: Assays of copper susceptibility, swarming/swimming, biofilm formation, persister cell formation, killing by macrophages, adhesion,...
