Identification and characterization of a gene stp17 located on the linear plasmid pBSSB1 as an enhanced gene of growth and motility in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi

The linear plasmid pBSSB1 mediates the flagellar phase variation in H:z66 positive Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi). The gene named stp17 (S. Typhi plasmid number 17 gene) is located on pBSSB1 and encodes the protein STP17. The expression pattern at the protein-level and function of STP1...
