Abstract
A laboratory model of the induction of nonculturable forms in Salmonel la typhimurium has been developed. Mutants of S. typhimurium were obta ined using insertion mutagenesis via the TnPhoA transposon. These muta nts were impaired in the cell transition from the vegetative to the no nculturable state assayed in this model. Mutants have various phenotyp es and are located in different regions of the chromosome, as shown by the data obtained using pulsed-field electrophoresis of genomic DNA.
