Abstract excerpt
The virulence plasmid, characteristic of many serovars of Salmonella sp., and specifically its spv genes, promote intracellular growth of the bacteria in the liver and spleen and are essential for the virulence of these Salmonella serovars in the mouse. In an attempt to establish an in vitro model for studying its function, we evaluated its effect on the intracellular growth of the bacteria in macrophages in...
