Abstract
The O antigen gene cluster of S. boydii type 18, which contains nine open reading frames (ORFs), was found between galF and gnd. Based on homology, all of the ORFs were identified as O antigen synthesis genes, involved in the synthesis of rhamnose, transfer of sugars, and processing of O unit. Genes specific for S. boydii type 18 were identified, which can be potentially used for the development of a PCR-based assay for the identification and detection of this strain.
