1 Jul 1996
Abstract excerpt
The pathogenic Neisseria spp. produce a number of iron-regulated gene products that are thought to be important in virulence. Iron-responsive regulation of these gene products has been attributed to the presence in Neisseria spp. of the Fur (ferric uptake regulation) protein. Evidence for the role of Fur in neisserial iron regulation has been indirect because of the inability to make fur null mutations. To...
