Abstract excerpt
Serovar Typhimurium of Salmonella enterica is a model organism for studies of pathogenesis that exhibits phage-type variation and variation in host range and virulence, but in a recent study showed no sequence variation in four genes, indicating the clonal nature of this serovar. We determined the relationships of 46 Typhimurium isolates of nine phage types using mutational changes detected either by matching...
