Streptococcus agalactiae is the principal cause of neonatal infections; however, for its study, genetic tools are scarce. We have developed pG+off, an expression vector with a tetracycline inducible promoter that allows a tightly-controllable gene expression in S. agalactiae. Using a reporter gene, we have shown that pG+off is characterized by tight repression under non-induced condition.
无乳链球菌是新生儿感染的主要原因;然而,对于其研究,遗传工具却很匮乏。我们开发了 pG+off,这是一种带有四环素诱导启动子的表达载体,可在无乳链球菌中实现严格可控的基因表达。通过报告基因,我们已经表明 pG+off 在非诱导条件下受到严格抑制。
