Cellular management of Zinc in group B <i>Streptococcus</i> supports bacterial resistance against metal intoxication and promotes disseminated infection

2021-02-05

Abstract excerpt

Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace element for normal bacterial physiology but divergently, can intoxicate bacteria at high concentrations. Here, we define the molecular systems for Zn detoxification in Streptococcus agalactiae , also known as group B Streptococcus, and examine the effects of resistance to Zn stress on virulence. We compared the growth of wild-type bacteria and mutants deleted for the Zn exporter,...
