Spatiotemporal Variations in Growth Rate and Virulence Plasmid Copy Number during <i>Yersinia pseudotuberculosis</i> Infection
2020-11-06
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic Yersinia spp. depend on the activity of a potent virulence plasmid-encoded ysc / yop type 3 secretion system (T3SS) to colonize hosts and cause disease. It was recently shown that Y. pseudotuberculosis up-regulates the virulence plasmid copy number (PCN) during infection and the resulting elevated gene dose of plasmid-encoded T3SS genes is essential for virulence. When and how this novel regulatory...
