Abstract excerpt
A trans-acting, positive effector of invasion plasmid antigen (Ipa) synthesis has been identified and mapped on the pWR100 invasion plasmid of Shigella flexneri serotype 5 (strain M90T-W). Recombinant plasmids carrying this regulatory gene, designated ipaR, were found to restore full virulence to a non-invasive ipaR::Tn5 insertion mutant [M90T-W(pHS1042)] that had lost the ability to synthesize four Ipa antigens...
