Transfer of Tn916 and Tn916 delta E into Clostridium difficile: demonstration of a hot-spot for these elements in the C. difficile genome.

FEMS microbiology letters - 15 Apr 1991

Mullany P, Wilks M, Tabaqchali S

Abstract excerpt

The conjugative transposon Tn916 and a derivative Tn916 delta E was transferred from Bacillus subtilis into Clostridium difficile CD37 by filter mating. All the C. difficile transconjugants appeared to contain one copy of the transposon integrated into the same position in the genome. Transposition from the original site of integration was not observed. Like Tn916 the transferable tetracycline resistance...
