Abstract excerpt
Our understanding of how most microbes "work" is hindered by the lack of molecular genetic and recombinant DNA tools to manipulate their genomes. We devised an approach to perform genetic analysis in one such microbe, the obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis. Comprehensive libraries of clone-purified mutants with distinct plaque morphologies were generated through chemical mutagenesis....
