A role for sigma factor SigE in Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis resistance to nitric oxide/ peroxide stress

Pathogenic intracellular bacteria can respond to antimicrobial mechanisms of the host cell through transient activation of stress-responsive genes by alternative sigma (σ) factors of the RNA polymerase. We evaluated the contribution of the extracytoplasmic function sigma factor σE for Corynebacteriu...
