The ability of the complete genome sequence of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 led to the identification of a 17-kb chromosomal region which contained a type III secretion system gene cluster at min 64.5. This locus contains open reading frames whose amino acid sequences show high degrees of similarity with those of proteins that make up the type III secretion apparatus, which is encoded by the inv-spa-prg locus on a Salmonella SPI-1 pathogenicity island. This locus was designated ETT2 ( ...[more]
