<i>Salmonella enterica</i> Serovar Typhi Strains from Which SPI7, a 134-Kilobase Island with Genes for Vi Exopolysaccharide and Other Functions, Has Been Deleted
4 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi has a 134-kb island of DNA identified as salmonella pathogenicity island 7 (SPI7), inserted between pheU and 'pheU (truncated), two genes for tRNA(Phe). SPI7 has genes for Vi exopolysaccharide, for type IVB pili, for putative conjugal transfer, and for sopE bacteriophage. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis following digestion with the endonuclease I-CeuI, using DNA from a set of...
