Himar1 Transposon for Efficient Random Mutagenesis in Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is the primary etiological agent of aggressive periodontal disease. Identification of novel virulence factors at the genome-wide level is hindered by lack of efficient genetic tools to perform mutagenesis in this organism. The Himar1 mariner transposon is known...
