Regulatory mechanisms of virulence of a plant bacterial pathogen unveiled facilitating the development of new anti-bacterial drugs

Description

A joint research team led by scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has previously identified a pathogen’s transcription factors, the key proteins that are virulence-related. Recently, the team has further revealed the regulatory mechanisms of virulence of that pathogen, facilitating the development of new anti-bacterial drugs for prevention and treatment.
