Summary

While expression of clpB was induced by heat stress, a ΔclpB strain grew relatively well under many different stressful conditions, including elevated temperatures, however, expression of ClpB appears to play a major role in induced thermotolerance and in pathogenesis, as assessed by using the Galleria mellonella virulence model.
