Abstract excerpt
In this work it is shown that the majority of Salmonella serovars most frequently associated with the systemic infection of vertebrate hosts produce a major outer-membrane porin, OmpD. However, OmpD is absent from the outer-membrane protein profiles of Salmonella typhi strain Ty2 and 26 clinical isolates of S. typhi examined by SDS-PAGE. To determine whether the ompD gene is present in S. typhi, primers internal...
