Chromosomal regions specific to pathogenic isolates of Escherichia coli have a phylogenetically clustered distribution.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Mar 1998

Boyd E F, Hartl D L

Abstract excerpt

We studied the ancestry of virulence-associated genes in Escherichia coli by examining chromosomal regions specific to pathogenic isolates. The four virulence determinants examined were the alpha-hemolysin (hly) loci hlyI and hlyII, the type II capsule gene cluster kps, and the P (pap) and S (sfa...
