Attenuated strains of Mycobacterium, particularly species of the tuberculosis complex, have the mycobacterial cell entry (mce) gene functionally disabled. The gene may be disabled by an insertion into the gene which disrupts the mycobacterial cell entry function thereof of a selectable marker which is used for screen for homologous recombinants in which a double cross-over event has been effected. The attenuated strains may be used in the immunization of hosts against Mycobacterium disease.

As tensões atenuadas do mycobacterium, particularmente espécie do complexo do tuberculosis, têm o gene mycobacterial da entrada da pilha (mce) incapacitado funcionalmente. O gene pode ser incapacitado por uma inserção no gene que disrupts a função mycobacterial da entrada da pilha disso de um marcador selecionável que seja usado para a tela para os recombinants homologous em que um evento dobro do cross-over foi efetuado. As tensões atenuadas podem ser usadas no immunization dos anfitriões de encontro à doença do mycobacterium.
