Bacillus anthracis chain length, a virulence determinant, is regulated by a transmembrane Ser/Thr protein kinase PrkC

2020-03-17

Abstract excerpt

Anthrax is a zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis , a spore-forming pathogen that displays a chaining phenotype. It has been reported that in a mouse infection model, systemic inoculation with longer bacterial chains caused blockade in lung capillaries. The blockade resulted in increased pathophysiological consequences viz, hypoxia and lung tissue injury. Hence, chaining acts as a virulence factor and mo...
