BSB PhD Exit Seminar: Study of bacteriophage encoded glucosyltransferase genes (gtr) in Shigella flexneri serotype 1c »
We identified several hypothetical genes and putative bacteriophage regions in Y394 genome, which warrants future investigation for determining the role of these unknown genes in relevance to pathogen virulence and survival in the host environment.
