Production of unmarked mutations in mycobacteria using site-specific recombination.

Abstract excerpt

Gene disruption experiments play an important role in the functional characterization of genes in mycobacteria and rely mostly on the use of one or two antibiotic resistance markers. We have developed a system for mycobacteria which features both the advantages of the use of antibiotic resistance markers for gene disruption experiments and the ability to efficiently rescue the marker leaving an unmarked mutation...
