The <i>selC</i>‐associated SHI‐2 pathogenicity island of <i>Shigella flexneri</i>
1 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenicity islands are chromosomal gene clusters, often located adjacent to tRNA genes, that encode virulence factors present in pathogenic organisms but absent or sporadically found in related non-pathogenic species. The selC tRNA locus is the site of integration of different pathogenicity islands in uropathogenic Escherichia coli, enterohaemorrhagic E. coli and Salmonella enterica. We show here that the selC...
