| fe(3+)-dependent epistasis between the cpxr-activated loci and the pmra-activated lps modification loci in salmonella enterica. | bacteria utilize varying combinations of two-component regulatory systems, many of which respond and adapt closely to stress conditions, thus expanding their niche steadily. while mechanisms of recognition and avoidance of the specific fe(3+) signal by the pmra/pmrb system is well understood, those of the cpxr/cpxa system are more complex because they can be induced by various stress conditions, which, in turn, expresses a variety of phenotypes. here, we highlight another aspect of the cpxr/cpxa ... | 2017 | 27829584 |
| is the evolution of salmonella enterica subsp. enterica linked to restriction-modification systems? | salmonella enterica subsp. enterica bacteria are highly diverse foodborne pathogens that are subdivided into more than 1,500 serovars. the diversity is believed to result from mutational evolution, as well as intra- and interspecies recombination that potentially could be influenced by restriction-modification (rm) systems. the aim of this study was to investigate whether rm systems were linked to the evolution of salmonella enterica subsp. enterica. the study included 221 salmonella enterica ge ... | 2017 | 27822532 |
