Abstract excerpt
We have isolated two transposon insertion mutations of the pst-phoU operon which result in the constitutive expression of the phoA gene product, alkaline phosphatase. The two mutations also render Escherichia coli invasive towards cultured HEp-2 cells and define a novel Pho-regulated invasion pathway. The presence of the large 'invasion' plasmid derived from an entero-invasive E. coli (EIEC) clinical isolate in...
