Distribution and in-vitro transfer of tetracycline resistance determinants in clinical and aquatic Acinetobacter strains
1 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
Following characterisation by phenotypic tests and amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA), 50 tetracycline-resistant (MIC > or = 16 mg/L) Acinetobacter strains from clinical (n = 35) and aquatic (n = 15) samples were analysed by PCR for tetracycline resistance (Tet) determinants of classes A-E. All the clinical strains were A. baumannii; most (33 of 35) had Tet A (n = 16) or B (n = 17) determinants,...
