Abstract excerpt
The plasmid virulence genes spvABCD of Salmonella spp. are regulated by SpvR and the stationary-phase sigma factor RpoS. The transcription of spv genes is induced during the post-exponential phase of bacterial growth in vitro. We sought to investigate the relationship between growth phase and Rpo...
