Abstract excerpt
The virulence properties of Salmonella enterica are largely encoded within a set of horizontally acquired gene blocks termed pathogenicity islands. One such pathogenicity island, SPI-1, located at centisome 63 of the Salmonella chromosome between the mutS and fhlA genes, encodes a type III protein secretion system and an iron uptake system. We have characterized the mutS-proximal border of this pathogenicity...
