The Vi antigen of Salmonella typhi: molecular analysis of the viaB locus.

Journal of general microbiology - 1 Feb 1992

Kolyva S, Waxin H, Popoff M Y

Abstract excerpt

Strains of Salmonella typhi isolated from the blood of patients with typhoid fever invariably express a capsular polysaccharide, termed the Vi antigen. Vi antigen expression is controlled by two separate chromosomal loci, viaA and viaB. The viaA locus is commonly found in enteric bacteria. In contrast, the viaB locus appears to be specific to Vi-expressing strains of Salmonella and Citrobacter. Here the cloning,...
