“…Thus, investigating factors which support the virulence of a pathogen would provide greater insight into the understanding of bacterial physiology for mining new targets for combating infections. Various stresses encountered by the pathogen within the host like iron depletion (Carlson et al, 2009;Cendrowski et al, 2004), oxidative stress (Cybulski et al, 2009;Kim Abbreviations: Pi, inorganic phosphate; PDM, phosphate depleted medium; PBM, phosphate balanced medium; PRM, phosphate repleted medium; BHI, brain heart infusion media; PBS, phosphate buffer saline; MOI, multiplicity of infection; PA, protective antigen; LF, lethal factor; EF, edema factor; DMEM, Dulbecco's modified eagle's medium; MTT, MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide); ELISA, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay; HRP, horse radish peroxidase; CMS, culture media supernatant. et al, 2013), carbon dioxide stress (McKenzie et al, 2014) etc.…”
