A novel <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> heme transport regulator (FhtR) is a heme sensor in the gastrointestinal tract

2020-06-24

Abstract excerpt

Enterococcus faecalis is a commensal Gram-positive pathogen found in the intestines of mammals, and is also a leading cause of severe infections occurring mainly among antibiotic-treated dysbiotic hospitalized patients. Like most intestinal bacteria, E. faecalis does not synthesize heme. Nevertheless, environmental heme can improve E. faecalis fitness by activating respiration metabolism and a catalase that limi...
