Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To analyse genetic changes in the oafA gene explaining the loss of O5-antigen expression in Salmonella Typhimurium and Salm. 4,[5],12:i:-. METHODS AND RESULTS: The oafA gene in 52 O5-antigen-negative and 77 O5-antigen-positive Salm. Typhimurium (N = 47) and Salm. 4,[5],12:i:- (monophasic Salm. Typhimurium strains, N = 82) was investigated by a combination of PCR screening and DNA sequencing to identify...
