Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that the fliZ gene encodes a positive regulatory factor for the class 2 flagellar operons in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. In this study, we found that the fliZ mutation reduced not only the amounts of excreted flagellar proteins, but also those of several secreted invasion proteins encoded by the genes within Salmonella pathogenicity island 1. Using the lacZ gene fused to a...
