Mariner mutagenesis of <it>Brucella melitensis </it>reveals genes with previously uncharacterized roles in virulence and survival

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Random gene inactivation used to identify cellular functions associated with virulence and survival of <it>Brucella </it>spp has relied heavily upon the use of the transposon Tn5 that integrates at G/C base pairs. Transpo...
