Genetic analysis of the enterobactin gene cluster in Shigella flexneri.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 1991

Schmitt M P, Payne S M

Abstract excerpt

The genes for transport and synthesis of the phenolate siderophore enterobactin are present on the chromosomes of both Ent+ and Ent- clinical isolates of Shigella flexneri. To determine why Ent- S. flexneri isolates fail to express a functional enterobactin system, the structure and expression of enterobactin genes were examined. Several alterations may be responsible for the inability of S. flexneri to express...
