Abstract excerpt
Vibrio vulnificus, a halophilic estuarine bacterium causing a rapidly progressing fatal septicemia, is highly cytotoxic to eukaryotic cells. To identify new virulence factors associated with cytotoxicity, we constructed a mariner-based transposon (Tn Himar1) library of the highly virulent clinical isolate MO6-24/O having a double mutation in the hemolysin and protease genes. The Himar1 mutant library was...
