Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the use of a natural transformation protocol to introduce mutations into Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotypes 1 and 5b. For both strains tested, we recovered 1 in 10(8) transformants during culture in rich medium, a result that was independent of the growth phase. This low frequency of transformation of A. pleuropneumoniae did not increase when bacteria were grown under conditions known...
