Abstract excerpt
The feasibility of constructing attenuated mutants of Staphylococcus aureus with two temperature-sensitive (ts) lesions for ultimate development of a live-attenuated strain was investigated. Temperature-sensitive S. aureus strain G/1/2, which grows well at 31 degrees C but does not replicate at 37 degrees C, was subjected to chemical mutagenesis. After two enrichment cycles, fifteen mutants able to grow at 25...
