Functional Characterization Of The Outer Membrane Protein TolC of Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhi And Its Association With Virulence
Although Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) has been well studied, only a few of its outer membrane proteins (OMPs) have been functionally characterized. In this study, a tolC deletion mutant was generated to study the biological functions of TolC in S. Typhi strain tha...
