The distribution of DNA sequences hybridizing with antibiotic production and resistance gene probes within type strains and wild isolates of Streptomyces species.

Abstract excerpt

Total DNA preparations from 74 antibiotic-producing type strains and 102 natural Streptomyces isolates were examined by dot blots for homology to 6 antibiotic production and resistance genes. Pattern diversity of hybridizations decreased as stringency increased from 65% to 85%. There were 146 unique profiles at 65% stringency with 13 repeated patterns, whilst there were only 14 unique and 11 repeated profiles at...
