Abstract excerpt
The Salmonella typhimurium transcriptional regulators, PhoP/PhoQ, induce phoP-activated gene (pag) expression to promote virulence and intracellular survival within macrophages. This response to the macrophage intracellular environment is simulated by phoP/phoQ constitutive mutations (phenotype PhoPc) that increase the expression of pag genes and repress the synthesis of approximately 20 proteins encoded by...
