Abstract excerpt
Rapid and efficient inactivation of a target gene in Escherichia coli chromosomes is required to investigate metabolic engineering. In the present study, a multiple gene inactivation approach was demonstrated in four strains of enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), which are the predominant pathogenic bacteria causing piglet diarrhea, mediated by λ Red and Xer recombination. The chromosomal genes, luxS and pfs were...
