Abstract excerpt
Progress in the field of mycobacterial research has been hindered by the inability to readily generate defined mutant strains of the slow-growing mycobacteria to investigate the function of specific genes. An efficient method is described that has been used to generate several mutants, including the first double unmarked deletion strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Four mutants were constructed: a marked...
