Distribution of IS1358 and linkage to rfb-related genes in Vibrio anguillarum.

The insertion sequence IS1358 is linked to the rfb regions of both Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139, and its location was suggestive of a role in generating new combinations of rfb genes. This provoked an examination of the distribution and localization of IS1358 in Vibrio anguillarum. S11358 was widely distributed in a number of V.
