Correlation Between the Transcriptional Level of iss and bor Virulence Genes of Avian Pathogenic Escherichia Coli O78 Inoculated to Chicken Serum [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2021 BACKGROUND: Blue Open Reading (bor) and increased serum survival (iss) genes, with intense structural and possible functional similarities, engage in the serum resistance of Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli O78 (APEC-O78).

Evolution of the iss Gene in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008 ABSTRACT The increased serum survival gene iss has long been recognized for its role in extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) virulence. iss has been identified as a distinguishing trait of avian ExPEC but not of human ExPEC.

Contributions of traT and iss genes to the serum resistance phenotype of plasmid ColV2-K94 [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1986 Abstract A genetic determinant for serum resistance, designated iss , has been found previously on the colicinogenic plasmid ColV2-K94. In this work we have identified a second serum resistance gene, traT, on ColV2-K94. The serum resistance mediated by derivatives of ColV2-K94 was due to presence of one or both of the iss and traT genes ...
