Tn10dTet refers to the transposition-defective derivative of Tn10, Tn10Δ16Δ17 (30). MudJ is an abbreviation for MudI1734, a Kanr mini-Mu derivative that forms stable lac operon fusions (31). MudA is an abbreviation for Mud1–8, an Ampr Mu derivative that forms stable lac operon fusions (32). (thr-pyrB substitution from S. typhimurium) refers to hybrid strains of S. typhi that contain a replacement of the thr-pyrB region of DNA from S. typhimurium. Genetic nomenclature is derived from the genetic map of S. typhimurium edition VIII (33).
