Abstract excerpt
Transposon (Tn 916) mutagenesis was employed to identify genes in group A streptococcus (GAS) that are involved in bacterial internalization by epithelial cells. One mutant displayed significantly reduced internalization efficiency and was therefore selected for further characterization. The mutant harbored a single Tn 916 insertion in csr, a genetic locus encoding a two-component regulatory system. Mutations in...
