Abstract excerpt
Intestinal epithelial cells are an important site of the host's interaction with enteroinvasive bacteria. Genes in the chromosomally encoded Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI 2) that encodes a type III secretion system and genes on the virulence plasmid pSDL2 of Salmonella enteritica serovar Dublin (spv genes) are thought to be important for Salmonella dublin survival in host cells. We hypothesized that...
