Derivatives of plasmid pBR327 with the tet gene interrupted by 165 pb or 401 bp direct repeats were constructed. In cells harboring these plasmids, deletions which restored the wild-type tet gene gave rise to tetracycline-resistant colonies, thereby allowing a simple phenotypic test for deletion for

The genes responsible for the formation of the F7 (2) fimbriae of the uropathogenic E. coli strain AD110 (O6:K2:H1: F7 ) have been cloned on the recombinant plasmid pPIL110 -35 (Van Die et al. 1983). The F7 (2) fimbriae, like the F7 (1) fimbriae of AD110 , are responsible for mannose resistant haema
Genetic analysis of histidine independent (His +) revertants induced by ultraviolet light in the his-4 E. coli strain ABl157 was carried out: 83% carried ochre (UAA) suppressor m~atations and 17% carried back mutations to his + or (intragenic?) suppressors not detectably separable from his-4. Using
