Functional Characterization of Multiple <i>Ehrlichia chaffeensis</i> Sodium (Cation)/Proton Antiporter Genes Involved in the Bacterial pH Homeostasis
<i>Ehrlichia chaffeensis</i> causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis. Little is known about how this and other related tick-borne rickettsia pathogens maintain pH homeostasis in acidified phagosomes and the extracellular milieu. The membrane-bound sodium (cation)/proton antiporters are found...
