Abstract

We performed shuttle mutagenesis of Legionella pneumophila. Mutants were screened for reduced cellular infectivity. Approximately 10% of the mutants had decreased cytopathicity. The DNA sequence of one locus was determined; the inferred amino acid sequence revealed homology with transport proteins including Escherichia coli TolC, Bordetella pertussis CyaE, and Alcaligenes eutrophus CzcC and CnrC.
