Insect pathogenicity islands in the insect pathogenic bacterium Photorhabdus

2004-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Genomic islands are regions of the bacterial genome responsible for unique aspects of bacterial behaviour, such as host symbiosis and pathogenicity. Where such regions are involved in pathogenesis, they are termed pathogenicity islands (PAIs). Photorhabdus luminescens is an insect pathogen that spends part of its life in symbiosis with a nematode and part of its life as an insect pathogen. Here, several novel PAIs...
