Abstract
In order to identify genes coding for virulence factors of GBS, a reliable method of incorporating genomic DNA into a cloning system must be developed. Most molecular technologies depend on E. coli based vector-host systems, and we describe here that these methods are unsuitable for use in cloning GBS DNA.
