Abstract excerpt
An unusual mutant of enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), deficient in its ability to invade host cells, was evaluated. The gene interrupted by the transposon in this mutant was located within a region of the EPEC chromosome devoted to secretion of proteins required for signal transduction. The mutan...
