Mutational analysis of cell wall biosynthesis in Mycobacterium avium.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 2003

Laurent Jean-Pierre, Hauge Kirsten, Burnside Kellie, Cangelosi Gerard

Abstract excerpt

The cell wall of the environmental pathogen Mycobacterium avium is important to its virulence and intrinsic antimicrobial resistance. To identify genes involved in cell wall biosynthesis, "transposome" insertion libraries were screened for mutants with altered colony morphology on medium containing the lipoprotein stain Congo red. Nineteen such mutants were isolated and mapped, including 10 with insertions in a...
