Abstract excerpt
Although host adapted to pigs, Salmonella enterica serovar Choleraesuis (S. choleraesuis) can induce a virulent foodborne salmonellosis in humans. To directly investigate virulence factors of S. choleraesuis, we extended the functional genomics approach of signature-tagged mutagenesis to S. choleraesuis and pigs. When a test pool of 45 randomly signature-tagged null mutants was inoculated orally and...
