SWTTING: Demonstrating that a gene is essential is always difficult, but this is particularly true for a slow-growing organism such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. One method currently used is to show that homologous recombination leading to gene inactivation only occurs in the presence of a second copy of the gene, but obtaining statistically significant data can be prohibitively difficult. L5-based integrating plasmids have been widely used in the genetic analysis of mycobacteria. The L5 excisionase has been used in Mycobacterium smegmatis to excise and recover these plasmids from chromosome.
