Abstract excerpt
We recently described the use of mini-Tn5 to generate complement-sensitive mutants derived from a complement-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate deficient in the lipopolysaccharide O side chain. One mutant with a reduced capacity to survive in nonimmune human sera carried the transposon inserted in the htrA gene. We cloned and sequenced the gene and predicted from the deduced amino acid sequence that...
