Abstract excerpt
Using transposon insertion mutagenesis with Tn1 or Tn5, we obtained Salmonella dublin mutant strains that showed either diminished serum resistance (five mutants) or diminished mouse lethality (two mutants). Detailed restriction cleavage analysis to determine the single sites of transposon insertion in an 80 kb plasmid (pTE800) indicated that a region for serum resistance was located within a 3.0 kb region of the...
