Disease relevance of spvC

Of the 22 Salmonella isolates examined, 15 were positive for the invasion gene invA and the virulence plasmid-associated genes spvC and pef [1].

High impact information on spvC

DNA from chloramphenicol-resistant clones was sequenced, and probes specific for the genes floS. typhimurium (floSt), int, invA, and spvC were produced for colony blot hybridizations [2].
In contrast, when 23 commonly seen Salmonella serovars (38 isolates) were tested, all were shown to carry the invA gene and seven concomitantly harbored the spvC gene of the virulence plasmid [3].
Rapid identification of Salmonella serovars in feces by specific detection of virulence genes, invA and spvC, by an enrichment broth culture-multiplex PCR combination assay [3].
Inserts in spvC and spvD were unstable in vivo for unknown reasons, but these mutants still killed mice at slightly higher inocula [4].

Biological context of spvC

The serovar-specific large plasmid was detected by PCR for spvC in 100% of DT104 strains and in 77% of the non-DT104 strains [5].
