Cloning of a Beta-Hemolysin Gene ofBrachyspira(Serpulina)hyodysenteriaeand Its Expression inEscherichia coli
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
Brachyspira (Serpulina) hyodysenteriae induces a mucohemorrhagic diarrheal disease in pigs. The production of a beta-hemolysin has been considered a major virulence attribute of this organism. Previous reports have failed to correlate a specific cloned gene sequence with a purified beta-hemolytic protein sequence. Thus, questions still remain concerning the structural gene sequence of the hemolysin. To answer...
