Genetic and Structural Analysis of the Bacteroides Conjugative Transposon CTn341
1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
The genetic structure and functional organization of a Bacteroides conjugative transposon (CTn), CTn341, were determined. CTn341 was originally isolated from a tetracycline-resistant clinical isolate of Bacteroides vulgatus. The element was 51,993 bp long, which included a 5-bp coupling sequence that linked the transposon ends in the circular form. There were 46 genes, and the corresponding gene products fell...
