Glucose-Dependent Activation of Bacillus anthracis Toxin Gene Expression and Virulence Requires the Carbon Catabolite Protein CcpA

Sensing environmental conditions is an essential aspect of bacterial physiology and virulence. In Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, transcription of the two major virulence factors, toxin and capsule, is triggered by bicarbonate, a major compound in the mammalian body. Here it is s...
