Abstract excerpt
A mutant deficient for the 19-kDa extracellular fibrinogen-binding protein (Fib) from Staphylococcus aureus has been constructed. The gene was inactivated by allele replacement. A 2.0-kb fragment from transposon Tn4001 carrying the gene for gentamicin resistance was inserted into the gene encoding Fib (fib). The genotype was verified by PCR analysis, and the loss of Fib was demonstrated by Western blotting...
