<i>erm</i> (B)-Carrying Elements in Tetracycline-Resistant Pneumococci and Correspondence between Tn <i>1545</i> and Tn <i>6003</i>
20 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
This study investigated the genetic organization of erm(B)-carrying transposons of Streptococcus pneumoniae and their distribution in tetracycline-resistant clinical isolates. By comparatively analyzing reference pneumococci carrying erm(B)/tet(M) transposon Tn1545, Tn6003, Tn6002, or Tn3872, we demonstrated a substantial correspondence between Tn1545 and Tn6003, which have the same resistance gene combination...
