Abstract excerpt
When a constant gene replacement sequence is introduced into bacteria to produce mutants and the flanking chromosomal sequences are known, it is possible to use a quantitative polymerase chain reaction method (QPCR) to compare the concurrent survival of the different bacterial mutants under identical conditions. We describe Escherichia coli survival following neutrophil phagocytosis among three mutants deleted...
