Abstract excerpt
Osmoregulation of the Shigella flexneri ompC gene and the role of OmpC in Shigella virulence have been investigated. OmpC was highly expressed when bacteria were grown in medium of either low or high osmolarity. This constitutive expression is in contrast with the regulation observed in Escherichia coli, in which the expression of OmpC is repressed at low osmolarity and induced at high osmolarity. In addition,...
