ArgR is an essential local transcriptional regulator of the arcABC-operon in Streptococcus suis and crucial for biological fitness in acidic environment [PDF]
, 2011 Streptococcus suis is one of the most important pathogens in pigs and can also cause severe infections in humans. Despite its clinical relevance very little is known about the factors contributing to its virulence.

The Multifaceted Activity of the VirF Regulatory Protein in the Shigella Lifestyle [PDF]
, 2016 Shigella is a highly adapted human pathogen, mainly found in the developing world and causing a severe enteric syndrome. The highly sophisticated infectious strategy of Shigella banks on the capacity to invade the intestinal epithelial barrier and cause ...

Dynamics of immune system gene expression upon bacterial challenge and wounding in a social insect (Bombus terrestris). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The innate immune system which helps individuals to combat pathogens comprises a set of genes representing four immune system pathways (Toll, Imd, JNK and JAK/STAT). There is a lack of immune genes in social insects (e.g.

Regulation of bacterial virulence gene expression by cell envelope stress responses [PDF]
Virulence, 2014 The bacterial cytoplasm lies within a multilayered envelope that must be protected from internal and external hazards. This protection is provided by cell envelope stress responses (ESRs), which detect threats and reprogram gene expression to ensure survival.

Impact of Solar Radiation on Gene Expression in Bacteria
Proteomes, 2013 Microorganisms often regulate their gene expression at the level of transcription and/or translation in response to solar radiation. In this review, we present the use of both transcriptomics and proteomics to advance knowledge in the field of bacterial ...
