Iron Acquisition Mechanisms and Their Role in the Virulence of Burkholderia Species [PDF]
, 2017 Burkholderia is a genus within the β-Proteobacteriaceae that contains at least 90 validly named species which can be found in a diverse range of environments. A number of pathogenic species occur within the genus.

Environmental microbiology, 2015 The CpxAR two‐component system is present in many Proteobacteria. It controls expression of genes required to maintain envelope integrity in response to environmental injury. Consequently, this two‐component system was shown to be required for virulence of several zoo‐pathogens, but it has never been investigated in phyto‐pathogens.

Extracytoplasmic stress response systems in S. Typhimurium [PDF]
, 2008 Salmonella species can cause wide-ranging disease from mild food-poisoning enteritis to a systemic, sometimes fatal typhoid infection. These bacteria have evolved to survive in different environments within and outside the host and do so through the ...

Multiple, weak hits confuse complex systems: A transcriptional regulatory network as an example [PDF]
, 2005 Robust systems, like the molecular networks of living cells are often resistant to single hits such as those caused by high-specificity drugs. Here we show that partial weakening of the Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcriptional ...

The EnvZ-OmpR Two-Component Signaling System Is Inactivated in a Mutant Devoid of Osmoregulated Periplasmic Glucans in Dickeya dadantii [PDF]
, 2018 Osmoregulated periplasmic glucans (OPGs) are general constituents of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-Proteobacteria. This polymer of glucose is required for full virulence of many pathogens including Dickeya dadantii (D. dadantii).
