The MogR Transcriptional Repressor Regulates Nonhierarchal Expression of Flagellar Motility Genes and Virulence in Listeria monocytogenes.
Flagella are surface structures critical for motility and virulence of many bacterial species.In Listeria monocytogenes, MogR tightly represses expression of flagellin (FlaA) during extracellular growth at 37 degrees C and during intracellular infection.MogR is also required for full virulence in a murine model of infection.Using in vitro and in vi
