Analysis of tetracycline resistance tet(W) genes and their flanking sequences in intestinal Bifidobacterium species
27 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The tet(W) gene provides tetracycline resistance to a wide range of anaerobic intestinal and ruminal bacteria, but little is known about the molecular organization of the tet(W) gene. The aim of this study was to gain new insights into the molecular organization of the tet(W) gene in bifidobacteria strains from humans. METHODS: A segment of DNA encompassing the whole tet(W) gene and its immediate...
