aroA from Bordetella bronchiseptica obsolete aroA from Bordetella bronchiseptica true Oliver He Inactivation of the aroA gene highly attenuates B. bronchiseptica, severely impairing its ability to colonize and survive in the respiratory tract of mice. Upon challenge with wild type B. bronchiseptica, the mice immunised with live attenuated B. bronchiseptica aroA mutant had rapidly reduced numbers of B. bronchiseptica in their respiratory tract Rebecca Racz NCBI_Gene_ID: 2659145; PMID: 12009288 terms merged
