The contribution of melanization to <i>Drosophila</i> survival changes with <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> V583 genomic content

2018-05-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Enterococcus faecalis is a human opportunist pathogen able to infect and kill Drosophila . Previous studies proved that E. faecalis carrying the Fsr quorum sensing system are extremely virulent. Fsr is the regulator of two important virulence factors, gelatinase and serine protease, which cause death of Drosophila adult flies by decreasing its tolerance to infection. The exact mechanism under...
