Transposon-insertion sequencing in a clinical isolate of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> identifies essential genes and determinants of natural transformation
2020-10-04
Abstract excerpt
Legionella pneumophila is a Gram-negative bacterium ubiquitous in freshwater environments which, if inhaled, can cause a severe pneumonia in humans. The emergence of L. pneumophila is linked to several traits selected in the environment, the acquisition of some of which involved intra- and interkingdown horizontal gene transfer events. Transposon-insertion sequencing (TIS) is a powerful method to identify the gen...
