Abstract excerpt
The Vibrio pathogenicity island (VPI) in epidemic Vibrio cholerae is an essential virulence gene cluster. The VPI can excise from the chromosome and form extrachromosomal circular excision products. The VPI is 41.2-kb in size and encodes 29 potential proteins, several of which have no known function and whose regulation is not well understood. To determine the transcriptional organization of the...
