Abstract excerpt
The uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain 536 possesses two large, unstable DNA regions on its chromosome, which were termed pathogenicity islands (pais). Deletions of pais, which occur with relatively high frequency in vitro and in vivo, lead to avirulent mutants. The genetic determinants for production of haemolysin (Hly) and P-related fimbriae (Prf) are located in one of these islands. Deletion of this...
