Isolation and characterization of a Tn551-autolysis mutant of Staphylococcus aureus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 1992

Oshida T, Tomasz A

Abstract excerpt

A Lyt- mutant with reduced autolytic activity was isolated after Tn551 mutagenesis of the methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus laboratory strain RN450. The Lyt- phenotype could be transferred back into the parent and into a variety of other S. aureus strains by transduction of the transposon marker. Southern analysis has located the Tn551 insert to a 3.2-kb HindIII DNA fragment on the SmaI B fragment of...
