A conjugative macrolide resistance gene,<i>mef</i>(A), in environmental<i>Clostridium perfringens</i>carrying multiple macrolide and/or tetracycline resistance genes

16 Dec 2008

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To determine if environmental Clostridium perfringens carry antibiotic resistance genes and if the genes are mobile. METHODS AND RESULTS: Clostridium perfringens from water, soil and sewage (2003-2006) were screened for the tetracycline and macrolide resistance genes previously described in animal and human C. perfringens [erm(B), erm(Q), tetA(P), tetB(P) and tet(M) genes] and the macrolide resistance...
