Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To analyse the sequence diversity of the tetracycline resistance gene tet(M) in Staphylococcus aureus from humans and animals and to determine mobile elements associated with tet(M) in S. aureus. METHODS: In total, 205 tetracycline-resistant isolates were screened for tet(M) by PCR. tet(M) genes were sequenced and compared with tet(M) deposited in GenBank. Based on phylogenetic analysis isolates were...
