Summary

This work has demonstrated an increase in mgtE transcript levels following antibiotic treatment with most of the 12 antibiotics tested, and observed that AlgR, which regulates production of the biofilm polysaccharide alginate, alters MgtE-mediated cytotoxicity, suggesting that AlGR is involved in linking external inducing signals tomgtE transcription and downstream virulence and biofilm activities.
