Gene transfer between related bacteria by electrotransformation: mapping Salmonella typhi genes in Salmonella typhimurium.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 1998

Abstract excerpt

Transfer of newly isolated mutations into a fresh background is an essential step of genetic analysis and strain construction. Gene transfer is hampered in Salmonella typhi and in other pathogenic bacteria by the lack of a generalized transduction system. We show here that this problem can be par...
