Resuscitation of Dormant "Non-culturable" Mycobacterium tuberculosis Is Characterized by Immediate Transcriptional Burst.

abstract：:The intracellular pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei, the etiological agent of melioidosis in humans and various animals, is capable of survival and movement within the cytoplasm of host cells by a process known as actin-based motility. The bacterial factor BimA is required for actin-based motility through its direct ...
