Popis: A review of the literature data concerning double-component bacterial regulation systems was given. The observed data concern: a) structural and functional organization based on the example of systems of the family OmpR (EnvZ/OmpR, PhoQ/PhoP), which regulate a number of processes providing adaptation to stress conditions in the environment and host body providing the virulence and biofilm formation, the cause of different human chronic infections; b) the genes and functions regulated by the double-components systems, based on the example of EnvZ/OmpR system, especially OmpR protein, and PhoQ/PhoP system. The possibilities for the searching of the double-component system protein inhibitors and their role in depressing pathogenic bacteria virulence were discussed.
