Abstract excerpt
We describe here a technique for allelic exchange in Francisella tularensis subsp. novicida utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products. Linear PCR fragments containing gene deletions with an erythromycin resistance cassette insertion were transformed into F. tularensis. The subsequent ErmR progeny were found to have undergone allelic exchange at the correct location in the genome; the minimum flanking...
