Abstract excerpt
The Vi antigen is a capsular polysaccharide expressed by Salmonella typhi, the agent of human typhoid fever. Expression of this antigen is controlled by the viaA and viaB chromosomal loci. The viaB locus is composed of 11 genes designated tviA-tviE (typhi Vi), vexA-vexE (Vi antigen export) and OR...
