The gene coding for toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 in S. aureus was inactivated by allelic replacement in two TSS-associated strains. One mutant derived from FRI1169 (a non-enterotoxigenic strain) lacked virulence in the rabbit uterine chamber infection model. This suggests that TSST-1 is the only determinant produced by this strain that can induce the symptoms of shock in rabbits. A novel method for allelic replacement involving transduction of plasmid integrants is described.
在两株与中毒性休克综合征(TSS)相关的金黄色葡萄球菌菌株中,通过等位基因替换使编码中毒性休克综合征毒素-1的基因失活。一株源自FRI1169(非产肠毒素菌株)的突变体在兔子宫腔感染模型中缺乏毒力。这表明TSST-1是该菌株产生的唯一可诱发兔休克症状的决定因素。本文描述了一种涉及转导质粒整合体的等位基因替换新方法。
