The putative transcriptional regulator STM14_3563 facilitates Salmonella Typhimurium pathogenicity by activating virulence-related genes

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is an important gram-negative intracellular pathogen that infects humans and animals. More than 50 putative regulatory proteins have been identified in the S. Typhimurium genome, but few have been clearly defined. In this study, the physiological function and regulatory role of STM14_3563, which encodes a ParD family putative transcriptional regulator in S. Typhimurium, were investigated....
