Abstract excerpt
The Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) defective bacteriophage ST64B has a putative immunity (immC) region consisting of cI, cro and cII-like genes. Since ST64B is widespread in S. Typhimurium, studies were undertaken to determine whether this region might be functional and influence phage typing results. Cloning of ST64B immC-like genes and their subsequent expression in S....
