A novel RofA-family transcriptional regulator, GadR, controls the development of acid resistance in <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i>
2023-06-22
Abstract excerpt
Stomach acid provides a significant innate barrier to the entry of the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes into the human gastrointestinal tract. A key determinant of acid resistance in this bacterium is the conserved glutamate decarboxylase system, GadD2 (encoded by the gadT2D2 operon), which helps to maintain the intracellular pH during exposure to gastric acid. In this study, we identified a premature...
