A previously described in-frame deletion in mshA--the gene encoding the structural subunit of the mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin pilus--has been introduced into the chromosome of three El Tor O1 strains of Vibrio cholerae. None of the deltamshA mutants showed significant attenuation or loss of c...
