Development of Signature-Tagged Mutagenesis in Burkholderia pseudomallei To Identify Genes Important in Survival and Pathogenesis
23 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, is an important human pathogen in Southeast Asia and northern Australia for which a vaccine is unavailable. A panel of 892 double signature-tagged mutants was screened for virulence using an intranasal BALB/c mouse model of infection. A novel DNA tag microarray identified 33 mutants as being attenuated in spleens, while 6 were attenuated in both lungs...
