Dear Karen,

You can contact Dr.Line E.Thomsen,Department of Veterinary Disease Biology,University of Copenhagen,Denmark to get transposon library of S.aureus 8325-4.His email is [email protected]

With kind regards,

Thanks for the sugestion, I didn't know. Is that published?

Best regards to all.

Karen Butina

Thank you both very much!

I knew about the USA300 library but then all my previous experiments are in 8325-4 so I would prefer to continue with it.

I will send an email to Dr. Thomsen asap and will update the post when I get an answer!

The same problem here we started on Newman!!!

Dr. Line E.Thomsen does unfortunately not have a transposon library of S.aureus 8325-4.
