Sequence analysis reveals genetic exchanges and intraspecific spread of SaPI2, a pathogenicity island involved in menstrual toxic shock

28 Sept 2007

Abstract excerpt

SaPIs are a family of homologous phage-related pathogenicity islands in staphylococci that carry superantigen and other virulence genes, and are responsible for a wide variety of superantigen-related diseases. SaPIs are induced to excise and replicate by particular staphylococcal phages and are encapsidated in infectious, small-headed, phage-like particles, which are transmitted at very high frequency among...
