Temperature and Oxidative Stress as Triggers for Virulence Gene Expression in Pathogenic spp.

Leptospirosis is a zooanthroponosis aetiologically caused by pathogenic bacteria belonging to the genus, . Environmental signals such as increases in temperatures or oxidative stress can trigger response regulatory modes of virulence genes during infection. This study sought to determine the effect of temperature and oxidative stress on virulence associated genes in highly passaged Jules and Portlandvere.
