Abstract excerpt
AIM: The ssrA mutants were found to be more sensitive to mitomycin C (MMC) and our aim was to study this phenomenon in detail. MATERIALS & METHODS: Strains were constructed by P1 transduction. pssrA+ plasmid was constructed by PCR-based cloning and transformation was done by CaCl2 method. Relative viability analyses were done to assess the extent of viability of strains in relevant conditions. Gram staining was...
