Abstract excerpt
Porin (PorB), the major outer membrane protein of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, has been implicated in pathogenesis previously. However, the fact that porin deletion mutants are not viable has complicated investigations. Here, we describe a method of manipulating the porin gene site-specifically. N. gonorrhoeae MS11, which harbours the porB1B (P.1B) porin allele, was used to generate mutants carrying deletions in the...
