Copy Number Heterogeneity in the Virulence Plasmid of Salmonella enterica

Quantitative PCR analysis shows that the virulence plasmid of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (pSLT) is a low-copy-number plasmid, with 1–2 copies per chromosome. However, fluorescence microscopy observation of pSLT labeled with a lacO fluorescent tag reveals cell-to-cell differences in the...
