Generating Double-Crossover Recombinants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa for Targeted Gene Deletion

Source: Valentine, M. E., et al. Generation of In-Frame Gene Deletion Mutants in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Testing for Virulence Attenuation in a Simple Mouse Model of Infection. J. Vis. Exp. (2020).This video demonstrates the generation of double-crossover recombinants in Pseudomonas aeruginosa using a plasmid-based gene deletion strategy. The process involves selecting bacteria that harbor a non-replicative plasmid integrated into the genome via a single crossover and then inducing a second...
