Abstract excerpt
The genetic determinants required for invasion of epithelial cells by Shigella flexneri and for the subsequent bacterial spreading are encoded by the large virulence plasmid. Expression of the virulence genes is under the control of various genes on the large plasmid as well as on the chromosome....
