Identification and characterization of the Yersinia enterocolitica gsrA gene, which protectively responds to intracellular stress induced by macrophage phagocytosis and to extracellular environmental stress.

Abstract excerpt

Yersinia enterocolitica is able to resist the microbicidal mechanisms of macrophages and to grow within phagocytic cells. Some bacteria including Y. enterocolitica have been shown to respond to the hostile environment in macrophages by producing a set of stress proteins which are also induced by environmental stresses. To understand the role of stress proteins in intracellular survival of bacteria, we identified...
