Abstract excerpt
The dltABCD cluster is involved in the d-alanylation of teichoic acids in gram positive bacteria. In order to determine the role of this alanylation in the physiology and virulence of Lactococcus garvieae, a previously isolated dltA Delta Tn917 signature tagged mutagenesis (STM) clone was analyze...
