  • Patent number: 6096549
    Abstract: A process for replacing a nucleotide sequence in the genome of a mycobacterium strain comprises the steps of:a) providing a vector containing SacB gene coding for levane saccharase enzyme and a nucleotide sequence of interest;b) transfecting the mycobacterium strain with the vector;c) selecting clones of the resulting transfected mycobacteria for replacement of the nucleotide sequence of interest by propagating the transfected clones in a culture medium supplemented with sucrose; andd) isolating the recombinant strain.The process is useful for positive selection of allelic exchange mutants, such as in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
