Abstract: The anti-phagocytic abilities of bacteria often affect bacterial pathogenicity. Here, random mutant library of Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus (SEZ) was constructed using transposon mutagenesis. After careful screening, 30 transposon mutants with different transposon insertion sites… read more here.

Abstract: The pathogenic bacterium Yersina pestis is protected from macrophage engulfment by a capsule like antigen, F1, formed of long polymers of the monomer protein, Caf1. However, despite the importance of this pathogen, the mechanism of… read more here.
