Coupled induction of prophage and virulence factors during tick transmission of the Lyme disease spirochete
The alternative sigma factor RpoS of Borrelia burgdorferi regulates a pathway implicated in tick transmission, mammalian infectivity and persistent infection. Here, the authors characterise the role of the RpoS negative regulator bbd18 and show that RpoS also controls induction of endogenous prophag...
