2020-03-25
Abstract excerpt
Coxiella burnetii carries a large conserved plasmid or plasmid-like chromosomally integrated sequence of unknown function. Here we report the curing of QpH1 plasmid from C. burnetii Nine Mile phase II, the characterization of QpH1-deficient C. burnetii in in vitro and in vivo infection models, and the characterization of plasmid biology. A shuttle vector pQGK, which is composed of the CBUA0036-0039a region (pred...
