Abstract excerpt
P22 transduction of chromosomal genes from Salmonella typhimurium into Salmonella typhi occurs at a low frequency. Transduction of plasmids from S. typhimurium into S. typhi occurs at a frequency similar to that between S. typhimurium strains, indicating that the barrier to transduction of chromosomal genes is not due to an inability of P22 to inject DNA into S. typhi or a restriction endonuclease that rapidly...
