Abstract excerpt
Surface dehydrogenase (SDH) is an anchorless, multifunctional protein displayed on the surfaces of group A Streptococcus (GAS) organisms. SDH is encoded by a single gene, sdh (gap or plr) that is essential for bacterial survival. Hence, the resulting nonfeasibility of creating a knockout mutant is a major limiting factor in studying its role in GAS pathogenesis. An insertion mutagenesis strategy was devised in...
