Abstract excerpt
We have confirmed that the 28,000-molecular-weight (28K) protein encoded by the virA gene of the 90-kilobase Salmonella typhimurium virulence plasmid is a virulence factor. It was previously shown that a Tn5 insertion, vir-22::Tn5, located in the virulence plasmid greatly attenuated virulence for mice and inhibited the production of a 28K protein (P.A. Gulig and R. Curtiss III, Infect. Immun. 56:3262-3271, 1988)....
