Abstract excerpt
Exotoxin A (ETA) is secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa under iron-limiting growth conditions. The ETA structural gene, toxA, is regulated at the transcriptional level by the gene products of the regAB operon. The expression of both toxA and regAB is repressed under iron-replete conditions, sugges...
