    BMC Microbiol 11:133. 2011
    ..It was recently shown that the lack of O157 antigen expression in two O rough E. coli O157:H7 strains was due to IS629 insertions at 2 different locations in the gne gene that is essential for the O antigen biosynthesis...

    Narjol González-Escalona
    Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Food and Drug Administration, College Park, Maryland 20740, USA
    Appl Environ Microbiol 75:3714-20. 2009
    ..This assay allows for the fast and accurate detection of viable Salmonella spp. in spinach, tomatoes, and in both jalapeno and serrano peppers...
