Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium paratuberculosis causes Johne's disease, a common wasting disease in ruminants. As a first step in studying virulence mechanisms, libraries of random mutants were produced in two M. paratuberculosis strains by using the conditionally replicating shuttle phasmid phAE94 which contains the transposon Tn5367. Two thousand mutants were screened for auxotrophy, carbon source preference, and altered cell...
