Acquisition of beta-lactamase and TetM-containing conjugative plasmids by phenotypically different strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Sexually transmitted diseases - 1 Jan 2000

Sarafian S K, Genco C A, Roberts M C, Knapp J S

Abstract excerpt

beta-lactamase plasmids confer high-level penicillin resistance on strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and may be mobilized between strains by conjugative plasmids. The authors examined 32 isolates belonging to 23 auxotype/serovar (A/S) classes to determine the frequency with which they acquired the 4.4-, 3.2-, and 3.05-megadalton (Mdal) beta-lactamase plasmids, respectively. The 3.05-Mdal beta-lactamase plasmid was...
