A constitutively mannose-sensitive agglutinating Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar typhimurium strain, carrying a transposon in the fimbrial usher gene stbC, exhibits multidrug resistance and flagellated phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Static broth culture favors Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium to produce type 1 fimbriae, while solid agar inhibits its expression. A transposon inserted in stbC, which would encode an usher for Stb fimbriae of a non-flagellar Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium LB5010 strain, conferred it to agglutinate yeast cells on both cultures. RT-PCR revealed that the expression of...
