Identification of the coding and non-coding transcriptome of
bacteria of the Burkholdeira cepacia complex (Bcc) expressed under
infections conditions. Functional analysis of virulence factors
responsible for Burkholderia cenocepacia pathogenicity. Regulatory
mechanisms of virulence-related gene expression in Bcc bacteria by
small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) and RNA chaperones.
