Resistance to tetracycline and distribution of tetracycline resistance genes in European Staphylococcus aureus isolates
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
Sir, We read with great interest the recent article by Trzcinski et al.,1 in which the analysis of the expression of tetracycline resistance in 66 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates was reported. In that study, they used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to screen for the presence of four tetracycline-resistance determinants, tetK, tetL, tetM and tetO. They also determined the MICs of...
