Abstract
Virulence-associated phenotypes of an outer membrane protein gene fami ly of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae were compared by means of pBR322 constructs transformed into Escherichia coli HB101. rck (Sal monella typhimurium) and ail (Yersinia enterocolitica) promote serum r esistance and eukaryotic cell invasion, properties not shared dy other members of the gene family, pagC, ompX, and lom.
