Acquisition of a large virulence plasmid (pINV) promoted temperature-dependent virulence and global dispersal of O96:H19 enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

Acquisition of a large virulence plasmid (pINV) promoted temperature-dependent virulence and global dispersal of O96:H19 enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) and Shigella are closely related agents of bacillary dysentery. It is widely viewed that EIEC and Shigella species evolved from E. coli via independent acquisitions of a large virulence plasmid (pINV) encoding a type 3 secretion system (T3SS). Sequence...
