The Gene <i>ail </i>for the Attachment-Invasion Locus Protein of <i>Yersinia enterocolitica</i> Biotype 1A Strains Is Located on the Genome of Novel Prophages
2025-10-03
Abstract excerpt
The attachment-invasion locus protein Ail of pathogenic Yersinia strains is an important virulence factor for both invasion of eucaryotic cells as well as serum resistance. In other Yersinia strains, e.g. those belonging to biotype (BT) 1A of Yersinia enterocolitica, ail has only occasionally been described. Sequence analysis of 370 BT 1A isolates in our laboratory revealed 41 (11.1%) being ail-positive. Most of t...
