Abstract excerpt
The effects of tetracycline on transfer of the conjugative, tetracycline-resistance transposon. Tn925, as well as the ability of the transposon to promote the transfer of chromosomal genes was examined in Enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus subtilis. To test for chromosomal transfer, multiply-mark...
