Abstract excerpt
In Salmonella heidelberg the copy number of the Salmonella-specific insertion element IS200 was found to vary from four to six. All strains tested contained at least one common insertion site which was serovar specific, and most strains contained three common sites. Concurrent analysis of plasmids indicated that all insertion sequence copies were chromosomally located, and also supported the equivalence of an...
