Abstract excerpt

The fibronectin-attachment protein (FAP) is conserved among several species of mycobacteria. Although this protein is associated with attachment and internalization of bacteria to host cells via fibronectin, the physiological role of the protein still remains unclear. To investigate this point, we generated FAP gene disruptant in Mycobacterium smegmatis. The gene disruption, verified by Southern blot and PCR...
