Abstract excerpt
Using a newly constructed minitransposon with a phoA reporter gene in a Salmonella enteritidis phoN mutant, we have identified an iron- and pH-inducible lipoprotein gene sfbA, which is a component of a novel ABC-type transporter system required for virulence. This gene is located on a 4 kb Salmonella-specific chromosomal segment, which constitutes a new pathogenicity islet. This islet encodes an outer membrane...
