Characterization and genetic mapping of a mutation affecting apurinic endonuclease activity in Staphylococcus aureus.

abstract：:Members of the pPT23A plasmid family of Pseudomonas syringae play an important role in the interaction of this bacterial pathogen with host plants. Complete sequence analysis of several pPT23A family plasmids (PFPs) has provided a glimpse of the gene content and virulence function of these plasmids. We constructed a m...
