Identification of Novel Virulence Determinants inMycobacterium paratuberculosisby Screening a Library of Insertional Mutants
21 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Johne's disease, caused by Mycobacterium paratuberculosis infection, is a worldwide problem for the dairy industry and has a possible involvement in Crohn's disease in humans. To identify virulence determinants of this economically important pathogen, a library of 5,060 transposon mutants was constructed using Tn5367 insertion mutagenesis, followed by large-scale sequencing to identify disrupted genes. In this...
