A locus contained within a variable region of pneumococcal pathogenicity island 1 contributes to virulence in mice.

Infection and immunity - 1 Mar 2004

Brown Jeremy S, Gilliland Sarah M, Spratt Brian G, Holden David W

Abstract excerpt

We have previously described a 27-kb pathogenicity island of Streptococcus pneumoniae, termed pneumococcal pathogenicity island 1 (PPI1), which contains iron uptake locus piaABCD, required for full virulence in mice, and a further 28 previously uncharacterized genes. We have investigated one of t...
