【Abstract】AIM:To construct galU-deletion mutant of us pneumoniae and get the capsule deficient strain, which can be used in al functional genome research. METHODS: LFHPCR was introduced to generate a gene disruption construct consisting of Emr cassette with long flanking homology regions to the target gene. The us pneumoniae was then transformed directly with this PCR product. The galUdeletion mutant was obtained on the TSA agar containing erythromycin and identified by PCR. The deficient strain (5×106 CFU) was applied to infect BALB/c mice to determine the virulence. RESULTS: GalU gene was pletely by erm cassette. The mutant had low virulence to BALB/c mice. CONCLUSION: The galUdeletion mutant can be used to screen in vivopromoter in us pneumoniae because it is incapable of synthesizing capsular haride and hence loses virulence. The target gene can be pletely by LFHPCR product, so this method is simple, rapid and effective for functional genome research of us pneumoniae.
