When Host’s Defenses Take a NAP: Nucleoid-Associated Proteins as Integrators of Infection and Virulence

Pathogenic bacteria encounter many stresses, from their environmental niches to colonization of their host. As unicellular organisms, a rapid and efficient response is crucial for their survival. Importantly, pathogenicity depends not only on the presence of virulence genes but also on how the bacterial chromosome is o...
