Presence of sopE gene & its phenotypic expression among different serovars of Salmonella isolated from man & animals.

Abstract

The results indicated that sopE gene appeared to be distributed and conserved among only a few serovars of Salmonella (Enteritidis, Gallinarum and Virchow) irrespective of their source of isolation. The presence of sopE gene in Salmonella provides an important pathogenic means to invade epithelial cells.
