The Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium znuABC genes encoding a high-affinity zinc uptake system and its regulatory zur gene have been cloned. Salmonella serovar Typhimurium zur and znuC knockout mutants have been constructed by marker exchange. The 50% lethal dose of the znuC mutant increased when either orally or intraperitoneally inoculated in BALB/c mice, while virulence of the zur mutant decreased only when mice were intraperitoneally challenged.
编码高亲和力锌摄取系统的肠炎沙门氏菌鼠伤寒血清型znuABC基因及其调控基因zur已被克隆。通过标记交换构建了鼠伤寒沙门氏菌zur和znuC基因敲除突变体。当将znuC突变体经口或腹腔接种到BALB/c小鼠体内时,其半数致死剂量增加,而只有当小鼠经腹腔攻击时zur突变体的毒力才会降低。
