Abstract

The heat-stable toxin I gene in the human Escherichia coli isolate 18D is the estA1 allele. The gene is not part of a composite transposon, but inspection of the flanking DNA sequences suggests that it was at one time part of a transposon. The hypothetical transposon originated from an event other than the occurrence that formed Tn1681.
