Identification of the Conjugative <i>mef</i> Gene in Clinical <i>Acinetobacter junii</i> and <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> Isolates

1 Sept 2000

Abstract excerpt

The mef gene, originally described for gram-positive organisms and coding for an efflux pump, has been identified in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter junii and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. These strains could transfer the mef gene at frequencies ranging from 10(-6) to 10(-9) into one or more of the following recipients: gram-negative Moraxella catarrhalis, Neisseria perflava/sicca and Neisseria mucosa and...
