Genetic environment of the multi-resistance gene cfr in methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci from chickens, ducks, and pigs in China.

Abstract excerpt

The present study focussed on the analysis of the genetic environment of the multi-resistance gene cfr detected among 21, mostly methicillin-resistant, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) isolates obtained from chickens, ducks and pigs in China. It included sequencing of the regions up- and downstream of the cfr gene on various plasmid types in 13 isolates, such as pSS-02 and pSS-02-like (n=7), pSS-03-like...
