Abstract excerpt
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) are bacteria associated with extraintestinal diseases in poultry. A method to generate markerless deletions of APEC genome is described. Lambda Red recombination is used to introduce a LoxP cassette (loxP-rpsL-neo-loxP) containing the rpsL gene for streptomycin sensitivity and the neo gene for kanamycin/neomycin resistance into the APEC genome, with attendant deletion of a...
