The adaptive transcriptional response of pathogenic <i>Leptospira</i> to peroxide reveals new defenses against infection-related oxidative stress
2020-04-04
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic Leptospira spp. are the causative agents of the waterborne zoonotic disease leptospirosis. During infection, Leptospira are confronted with dramatic adverse environmental changes such as deadly reactive oxygen species (ROS). Withstanding ROS produced by the host innate immunity is an important strategy evolved by pathogenic Leptospira for persisting in and colonizing hosts. In L. interrogans , genes...
