Genetic Environment of the <i>lnu</i> (B) Gene in a Streptococcus agalactiae Clinical Isolate
24 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
A novel lnu(B)-carrying element of ~12 kb was identified in Streptococcus agalactiae strain isolated from a vaginal swab. The genetic environment in which lnu(B) is located showed similarity to different elements identified in lincosamide resistant Staphylococcous aureus and Enterococcus faecalis. The new element harbored the IS1216 and a transposase gene of the ISL3 family. This is the first report of lnu(B)...
