Transposon Mutagenesis in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Chlamydia trachomatis</named-content> Identifies CT339 as a ComEC Homolog Important for DNA Uptake and Lateral Gene Transfer

ABSTRACT Transposon mutagenesis is a widely applied and powerful genetic tool for the discovery of genes associated with selected phenotypes. Chlamydia trachomatis is a clinically significant, obligate intracellular bacterium for which many conventional genetic tools and capabilities have been devel...
