Abstract excerpt
Molecular biology has provided new technology for evaluating the traits of bacterial pathogens that are important in the pathogenesis of infections. The ability to derive isogenic strains that differ by a single trait provides a powerful tool for investigating the interaction of a putative virulence factor with the host at any of the various steps in pathogenesis. Recombinant DNA techniques afford the opportunity...
