Funded Activity Summary

This project investigates how the bacteria responsible for gas gangrene, an often fatal wound infection, control or regulate the expression of genes that encode toxins and other virulence factors. The overall objective is to develop a detailed understanding of the function and biological role of each element in these regulatory systems, thereby making a major contribution to our knowledge of how bacteria control the production of toxic products that are essential for the disease process.
