Abstract excerpt
The tetracycline resistance determinant Tet P, which is encoded by the conjugative plasmid pCW3 from Clostridium perfringens, is induced by subinhibitory concentrations of tetracycline. In this study we have shown that the inducible phenotype is strain dependent. When pCW3 is present in derivatives of the wild-type strains CW234 and CW362 resistance is inducible. However, transfer to derivatives of strain 13...
