Article Synopsis
- A pathogen causes skin ulcers in tropical children and chancroid in sexually active adults, utilizing anaerobic respiration and mixed acid fermentation to generate energy in these environments.
- The study investigated the role of specific genes related to formate production and transport in a specific strain of bacteria during human infection, creating single and double mutants to explore their effects on growth and virulence.
- Results showed that while formate production is present, the lack of certain genes did not significantly affect the ability of the bacteria to cause disease, indicating that these genes are not essential for virulence in humans.
