Transformation of Pasteurella novicida.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Deoxyribonucleic acid from a streptomycin-resistant mutant of Pasteurella novicida transformed portions of P. novicida streptomycin-sensitive populations to streptomycin-resistant. Similarly, mutants auxotrophic for tryptophan or purine biosynthesis were also transformed to nutritional independence.

Molecular cloning of the recA gene and construction of a recA strain of Francisella novicida.
A gene locus that is functionally analogous to the recA gene of Escherichia coli was molecularly cloned from Francisella novicida. The cloned gene was found to suppress the sensitivity of an E. coli strain to DNA-damaging agents and to support genetic recombination in E. coli. After transposon mutagenesis, the recA-like gene locus was returned to F. novicida and a UV-sensitive F. novicida strai...
متن کاملGenetic dissection of the Francisella novicida restriction barrier.
Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularemia and is a category A select agent. Francisella novicida, considered by some to be one of four subspecies of F. tularensis, is used as a model in pathogenesis studies because it causes a disease similar to tularemia in rodents but is not harmful to humans. F. novicida exhibits a strong restriction barrier which reduces the transformation ...

Peripheral blood and splenic lymphocytes from rabbits immunized with Pasteurella multocida by various schedules were stimulated to undergo blast transformation in vitro in response to this antigen. Repeated immunizations suppressed this response.
متن کاملComparative review of Francisella tularensis and Francisella novicida
Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of the acute disease tularemia. Due to its extreme infectivity and ability to cause disease upon inhalation, F. tularensis has been classified as a biothreat agent. Two subspecies of F. tularensis, tularensis and holarctica, are responsible for tularemia in humans. In comparison, the closely related species F. novicida very rarely causes human illne...
متن کاملGlycosylation of a Capsule-Like Complex (CLC) by Francisella novicida Is Required for Virulence and Partial Protective Immunity in Mice
Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative bacterium and the etiologic agent of tularemia. F. tularensis may appear encapsulated when examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which is due to production of an extracellular capsule-like complex (CLC) when the bacterium is grown under specific environmental conditions. Deletion of two glycosylation genes in the live vaccine strain (LVS) ...
