Variation of the rfb gene clusters in Salmonella enterica.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 1993

Xiang S H, Haase A M, Reeves P R

Abstract excerpt

In order to explore the genetic variation of O antigens of Salmonella enterica, we surveyed 164 strains (132 serovars) belonging to 45 serogroups, using 25 mostly single-gene rfb DNA probes for colony hybridization. The results revealed that strains within a serogroup have very similar or identical rfb genes. At least three of the four rhamnose genes were detected in all 17 serogroups reported to contain...
