Genetic basis of virulence in Shigella species.

1991-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Shigella species and enteroinvasive strains of Escherichia coli cause disease by invasion of the colonic epithelium, and this invasive phenotype is mediated by genes carried on 180- to 240-kb plasmids. In addition, at least eight loci on the Shigella chromosome are necessary for full expression of virulence. The products of these genes can be classified as (i) virulence determinants that directly affect the abilit...
