Tetracycline resistance heterogeneity in Enterococcus faecium.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 May 1991

Bentorcha F, De Cespédès G, Horaud T

Abstract excerpt

The tetracycline (Tet) determinants, which encode resistance either to tetracyclines without minocycline (Tcr) or to tetracyclines including minocycline (Tcr-Mnr), of 30 wild-type clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecium were identified and localized. The Tet determinants were transferred by conjugation into a plasmid-free Enterococcus faecalis recipient at frequencies of 10(-6) to 10(-9) transconjugants per...
