Abstract

Pathogenic bacteria cause many diseases, some of which are fatal. For researchers, it is a challenge to understand bacterial mechanisms of pathogenicity, including their virulence pathways regulated by RNA. This work presents data on the mechanisms of regulation and expression of several virulence factors coded by RNA, namely 5' UTR fragments, riboswitches and small non-coding RNA (sRNA).
