Long chain fatty acids and virulence repression in intestinal bacterial pathogens

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Mary K. Mitchell from the Department of Biological Sciences, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, United States have published the research: Long Chain Fatty Acids and Virulence Repression in Intestinal Bacterial Pathogens, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: Collectively, these molecular studies clearly demonstrate that LCFAs often act as anti-virulence signals that inhibit key transcriptional activators of virulence and histidine kinases that stimulate pro-virulence intracellular cascades.

SUMMARY

    Despite their necessity for pathogen colonization, many virulence factors are energetically costly to produce (Sturm et_al, 2011; Diard et_al, 2013; Vasanthakrishnan et_al . . .
