Clinically relevant mutations in the PhoR sensor kinase of host-adapted Mycobacterium abscessus isolates impact response to acidic pH and virulence

Clinically relevant mutations in the PhoR sensor kinase of host-adapted Mycobacterium abscessus isolates impact response to acidic pH and virulence

ABSTRACT Functional genomics analysis of Mycobacterium abscessus clinical isolates from chronically infected patients to identify genes under strong evolutionary pressure during lung adaptation identified phoR as one of the most frequently mutated. phoR encodes the histidine kinase (HK) of the two-c...
