Transformation of mycobacterial species using hygromycin resistance as selectable marker
1 Jan 1994
Abstract excerpt
Electroporation with shuttle plasmids carrying a kanamycin resistance gene as a selectable marker failed to generate transformants in two mycobacterial species currently being used in human vaccine trials (Mycobacterium w and Mycobacterium vaccae). In contrast, efficient transformation [10(3)-10(5) transformants (micrograms DNA)-1] was obtained using novel vectors with selection based on expression of resistance...
