Abstract excerpt
A 65-kilobase-pair element, XBU4422, which has some transposonlike characteristics but carries no known antibiotic resistance genes, has been isolated from Bacteroides uniformis 0061. XBU4422 was trapped on Bacteroides-Escherichia coli shuttle vectors during experiments in which one of the conjugal Bacteroides tetracycline resistance (Tcr) elements was being used to mobilize the shuttle vectors to Bacteroides...
