An efficient two-step recombination method for markerless gene deletion and insertion that can be used for repetitive genetic modification in Yersinia pestis was developed. The method combines {lambda} Red recombination and counterselective screening (sacB gene) and can be used for genetic modification of Y. pestis to construct live attenuated vaccines.
