Abstract excerpt
This chapter provides an updated experimental protocol for generating allelic exchange mutants of mycobacteria by two-step selection using the p2NIL/pGOAL system. The types of mutants that can be generated using this approach are targeted gene knockouts marked with a drug resistance gene, unmarked deletion mutants, or strains in which a point mutation/s has been introduced into the target gene. A method for...
