Abstract excerpt
The alternative sigma factor RpoS (sigma S) is required for Salmonella virulence in mice. We report the immunizing capacity of Salmonella typhimurium rpoS and rpoS aroA mutants to protect susceptible BALB/c mice against subsequent oral challenge with virulent S. typhimurium. When administered orally or intraperitoneally, rpoS derivatives of the mouse-virulent S. typhimurium strains, C52 and SL1344, were highly...
