Novel Tetracycline Resistance Gene, <i>tet</i> (32), in the <i>Clostridium</i> -Related Human Colonic Anaerobe K10 and Its Transmission In Vitro to the Rumen Anaerobe <i>Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens</i>

Abstract excerpt

A novel tetracycline resistance gene, designated tet(32), which confers a high level of tetracycline resistance, was identified in the Clostridium-related human colonic anaerobe K10, which also carries tet(W). tet(32) was transmissible in vitro to the rumen anaerobe Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens 2221(R). The predicted gene product of tet(32) has 76% amino acid identity with Tet(O). PCR amplification indicated that...
