Abstract excerpt
Large (greater than 50 kilobases) conjugal chromosomal tetracycline resistance (Tcr) elements have been found in many human colonic Bacteroides strains. Recently, N. B. Shoemaker and A. A. Salyers (J. Bacteriol, 170:1651-1657, 1988) reported that some of these Tcr elements appeared to mediate pro...
