Effects of an isogenic Zn-metalloprotease-deficient mutant of Legionella pneumophila in a guinea-pig pneumonia model.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jun 1994

Abstract excerpt

To determine the effects, if any, of the Zn-metalloprotease on virulence of Legionella pneumophila infection, an isogenic mutant deficient in protease (encoded by the proA gene) was tested in an Acanthamoeba cell model, in guinea-pig macrophages, and in a guinea-pig pneumonia model. The cloned proA gene was completely inactivated by insertion of a kanamycin-resistance cassette into the protease gene of L....
