A Plasmid-Encoded FetMP-Fls Iron Uptake System Confers Selective Advantages to <i>Salmonella enterica</i> Serovar Typhimurium in Growth under Iron-Restricted Conditions and for Infection of Mammalian Host Cells

A Plasmid-Encoded FetMP-Fls Iron Uptake System Confers Selective Advantages to <i>Salmonella enterica</i> Serovar Typhimurium in Growth under Iron-Restricted Conditions and for Infection of Mammalian Host Cells

The resistance plasmid pUO-StVR2, derived from virulence plasmid pSLT, is widespread in clinical isolates of <i>Salmonella enterica</i> serovar Typhimurium recovered in Spain and other European countries. pUO-StVR2 carries several genes encoding a FetMP-Fls system, which could be involve...
