ABSTRACT
In this study ,a wild type Salmonella typhimurium (S .typhimurium) strain was isolated and identified in Hong Kong (S129) ,then the asdA gene was knocked out and replaced with kanamycin resistant gene in a Salmonella typhi-murium strain S129 using the λ RED-mediated recombination method .The constructed mutant asdAΔS129 was validated by culturing in the presence or absence of 2 ,6-diaminopimelic acid (DAP) growth in vitro and evaluating its virulence in BALB/c mice challenge assay .Therefore ,this study has demonstrated that an asdA mutant Salmonella typhimurium has been success-fully constructed .
