Abstract excerpt
The Yersinia virulence plasmid confers on strains of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica an adhesive potential superior to the one encoded by the chromosome alone. We have evaluated the role of the plasmid-encoded outer membrane protein YadA (formerly called Yopl) in adhesion. Insertional inactivation of the yadA gene (formerly called yopA), which encodes YadA, led to a reduction in the capacity of...
