Abstract excerpt
Histoplasma capsulatum is a dimorphic fungal pathogen that survives and replicates within macrophages (Mphi). To identify specific genes required for intracellular survival, we utilized Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated mutagenesis, and screened for H. capsulatum insertional mutants that were unable to survive in human Mphi. One colony was identified that had an insertion within VMA1, the catalytic subunit A of...
