Abstract excerpt
The recA gene in Porphyromonas gingivalis is involved in DNA repair. To further elucidate the importance of the recA locus in the pathogenesis of P. gingivalis, we assessed its ability for expression in an animal host. The promoterless xa-tetA(Q)2 cassette was used in heterodiploid mutants to study recA promoter activity during infection. P. gingivalis FLL118.1 had the xa-tetA(Q)2 cassette under the control of...
