Virulence plasmids of enteroinvasive Escherichia coli and Shigella flexneri integrate into a specific site on the host chromosome: integration greatly reduces expression of plasmid-carried virulence genes.

The ability of enteroinvasive Escherichia coli and Shigella flexneri to cause disease depends on the presence of a large virulence plasmid (pINV). In this report we show that pHN280, the pINV of the O135:K-:H- enteroivasive strain E. coli HN280, and pWR100, the pINV of S. flexneri serotype 5 strain...
