Gentamicin resistance genes in environmental bacteria: prevalence and transfer
1 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
A comprehensive multiphasic survey of the prevalence and transfer of gentamicin resistance (Gm(r)) genes in different non-clinical environments has been performed. We were interested to find out whether Gm(r) genes described from clinical isolates can be detected in different environmental habitats and whether hot spots can be identified. Furthermore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of selective pressure...
