Abstract excerpt
This paper reports the characterization of a new locus, vagC/vagD, on the virulence plasmid of Salmonella dublin. Strain G19, harbouring a TnA insertion in vagC, exhibited reduced virulence although vagC was outside the 8 kb essential virulence region. G19 was also unable to grow on minimal-medium containing various sole carbon/energy sources, unlike the wild-type and plasmid-cured strains. Sequencing of the...
