Natural transfer of conjugative transposon Tn916 between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 1991

Bertram J, Strätz M, Dürre P

Abstract excerpt

The conjugative streptococcal transposon Tn916 was found to transfer naturally between a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative eubacteria. Enterococcus faecalis hosting the transposon could serve as a donor for Alcaligenes eutrophus, Citrobacter freundii, and Escherichia coli at frequencies...
