Distribution of the <i> <i>erm</i> </i> (B) Gene, <i>tet</i> racycline Resistance Genes, and Tn <i>1545</i> -like Transposons in Macrolide- and Lincosamide-Resistant Enterococci from Pigs and Humans

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of the erm (B) and the tetracycline resistance genes tet(K), tet(L), tet(M), tet(O), and tet(S) was investigated among macrolide- and lincosamide-resistant enterococci originating from humans, pigs, and pork carcasses. The presence of transposons of the Tn916/Tn1545 family was also traced in these isolates. Furthermore, the porcine strains were tested for the presence of glycopeptide resistance...
