The fliR gene contributes to the virulence of S. marcescens in a Drosophila intestinal infection model
2021-08-26
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Serratia marcescens is an opportunistic bacterium that infects a wide range of hosts including humans. It is a potent pathogen in a septic injury model of Drosophila melanogaster as five bacteria directly injected in the body cavity of the fly kill the host within a day. In contrast, flies do not succumb to ingested bacteria for days even though some bacteria traverse the intestinal bar...
