CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene deletion of the <i>ompA gene</i> in symbiotic <i>Enterobacter</i> impairs biofilm formation and reduces gut colonization of <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquitoes
2018-08-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Symbiotic bacteria are pervasive in mosquitoes and their presence can influence many host phenotypes that affect vectoral capacity. While it is evident that environmental and host genetic factors contribute in shaping the microbiome of mosquitoes, we have a poor understanding regarding how bacterial genetics affects colonization of the mosquito gut. The CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system is a pow...
