Effect of mutS and recD mutations on Salmonella virulence.
Infection and immunity - 1 Nov 1999

Abstract excerpt
Hybrid derivatives of closely related bacteria may be used to dissect strain-specific functions that contribute to virulence within a host. However, mismatches between DNA sequences are a potent barrier to recombination. Recipients with mutS and recD mutations overcome this barrier, allowing construction of genetic hybrids. To determine whether Salmonella hybrids constructed in a mutS recD host can be used to...
