In Helicobacter pylori, the hp1043 gene is one of the transcriptional regulator essential for
cell viability. As such, this gene could not be deleted, supporting the hypothesis that HP1043 …

Transcriptional silencing and anti-silencing affect many aspects of bacterial physiology,
including virulence in bacterial pathogens. In Shigella species, a group of gram-negative …

Bacterial ribo-regulators are a diverse collection of molecules defined here as any RNA
molecule that functions to specifically control the expression of a target gene (s), or the …

Shigella flexneri is a gram-negative enteropathogen that infects the human colonic
epithelium. It is estimated that Shigella spp. infect 165 million people a year worldwide …

The genomes of Gram-negative bacteria encode paralogues and/or orthologues of global
modulators. The nucleoid-associated H-NS and Hha proteins are an example: several …

Shigella flexneri es un patógeno entérico, que afecta principalmente a niños menores de 5
años, ocasionando cuadros de diarrea acuosa con y sin sangre. En un porcentaje …

Coordination of virulence is achieved by bacterial pathogens, in part, through the control of
gene expression. The nucleoid is the site where this is controlled and its architecture has an …

Enteropathogenic E. coli and enterohemorrhagic E. coli are food–and water–borne
pathogens that are important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. These enteric …
