A demonstration that pCU1 tra gene products are not required in the killing of Klebsiella pneumoniae.
IncN group plasmids, including pCU1, are able to kill Klebsiella pneumoniae when conjugatively transferred from an Escherichia coli donor. Transposon mutagenesis and deletion analysis of the known tra complementation groups were used to demonstrate that the tra gene products inactivated are not required for the Kik phenotype.
