Abstract
Shuttle vectors for inserting DNA in mycobacteria comprising at least one origin of functional replication in said mycobacteria, another origin of functional replication in other bacteria, an enzyme cutting site allowing the insertion of DNA coding for a protein capable of being expressed in the mycobacteria, characterized in that they also carry a gene providing on said mycobacteria resistance to a compound containing a heavy metal.
