The high‐pathogenicity island of <i>Yersinia pseudotuberculosis</i> can be inserted into any of the three chromosomal <i>asn tRNA</i> genes
1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenicity islands (PAIs) have been identified in several bacterial species. A PAI called high-pathogenicity island (HPI) and carrying genes involved in iron acquisition (yersiniabactin system) has been previously identified in Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pestis. In this study, the HPI of the third species of Yersinia pathogenic for humans, Y. pseudotuberculosis, has been characterized. We demonstrate...
