ABSTRACT The BvgS/BvgA two-component system controls expression of ∼550 genes of Bordetella pertussis, of which, ∼245 virulence-related genes are positively regulated by the BvgS-phosphorylated transcriptional regulator protein BvgA (BvgA∼P). We found that a single G-to-T nucleotide transversion in...
