Abstract excerpt
The authors have developed a simple and highly efficient system for generating allelic exchanges in both fast- and slow-growing mycobacteria. In this procedure a gene of interest, disrupted by a selectable marker, is cloned into a conditionally replicating (temperature-sensitive) shuttle phasmid to generate a specialized transducing mycobacteriophage. The temperature-sensitive mutations in the mycobacteriophage...
