Abstract excerpt
Salmonella enterica mutants defective in Dam methylase are strongly attenuated in virulence and release a large amount of proteins to the extracellular medium. The extent to which these two phenotypes are linked is unknown. Using a proteomic approach, we identified Sb6, Sb13, and Sb36 as proteins present in larger amounts in culture supernatants of an S. enterica serovar Typhimurium dam mutant than in those of...
