Pathogenicity islands: the tip of the iceberg.

Microbes and infection - 1 Jun 2001

Hentschel U, Hacker J

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenicity islands represent distinct genetic elements encoding virulence factors of pathogenic bacteria. Pathogenicity islands belong to the class of genomic islands, which are common genetic elements sharing a set of unifying features. Genomic islands have been acquired by horizontal gene transfer. In recent years many different genomic islands have been discovered in a variety of pathogenic as well as...
