Abstract excerpt
Resistance against antimicrobial agents in enterococci is a global concern that not only challenges infection therapy but also make them reservoir of antibiotic resistance in human and animal alike. This study was conducted to establish tetracycline resistance profiles, prevalence of tet genes and transposable element (Tn916) in enterococcal soil and clinical isolates. Enterococci (n = 1210) from different...
