Abstract

Targeted insertional mutagenesis was used to construct hagA, hagB, and hagC hemagglutinin mutants of Porphyromonas gingivalis. pJRD215-derived plasmids containing tetA(Q)2 and portions of the targeted genes were conjugated into P. gingivalis. Interruption of the three loci was confirmed by Southern hybridization, sequencing, reverse transcription-PCR, and microtiter hemagglutination assays. No significant differences in hydrophobicity or coadherence to Actinomyces viscosus were detected between the mutants and the wild-type strain.
