The Salmonella typhimurium flgM gene, which encodes a negative regulator of flagella synthesis and is involved in virulence, is present and functional in other Salmonella species.

abstract：:Sixteen of the 18 Vibrio cholerae rough strains isolated from hospitalised diarrhoea patients were found to contain O1 serotype-specific (wbe) genes and all currently known virulence genes. Expression of the regulatory element ToxR was evident in these strains. Cholera toxin production ability of the rough strains was...
