Signature‐tagged and directed mutagenesis identify PABA synthetase as essential for <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i> pathogenicity
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
Signature-tagged mutagenesis (STM) is a method that has been used to screen for genes required for in vivo survival of pathogenic bacteria, but has not been used to investigate a eukaryotic pathogen in an animal model of disease. We have adapted STM to identify genes required for in vivo growth of the opportunistic fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Using a mouse model of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, we...
