A cryptic 65-kilobase-pair transposonlike element isolated from Bacteroides uniformis has homology with Bacteroides conjugal tetracycline resistance elements.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Apr 1990

Shoemaker N B, Salyers A A

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 conjug...
