Iron-regulated small RNA expression as Neisseria gonorrhoeae FA 1090 transitions into stationary phase growth
Abstract Background For most pathogens, iron (Fe) homeostasis is crucial for maintenance within the host and the ability to cause disease. The primary transcriptional regulator that controls intracellular Fe levels is the Fur (ferric uptake regulator) protein, which exerts its action on transcriptio...
