Functional Identification of Conjugation and Replication Regions of the Tetracycline Resistance Plasmid pCW3 fromClostridium perfringens
20 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Clostridium perfringens causes fatal human infections, such as gas gangrene, as well as gastrointestinal diseases in both humans and animals. Detailed molecular analysis of the tetracycline resistance plasmid pCW3 from C. perfringens has shown that it represents the prototype of a unique family of conjugative antibiotic resistance and virulence plasmids. We have identified the pCW3 replication region by deletion...
