RECON gene disruption enhances host resistance to enable genome-wide evaluation of intracellular pathogen fitness during infection

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Transposon sequencing (Tn-seq) is a powerful genome-wide technique to assess bacterial fitness under varying growth conditions. However, screening via Tn-seq in vivo is challenging. Dose limitations and host restrictions create bottlenecks that diminish the transposon mutant pool being screened. Here, we have developed a murine model with a disruption in Akr1c13 that renders the resulting RECON −/− mouse...
