Abstract excerpt
The Tn21 subgroup of class II transposons plays an important role in the dissemination of resistance genes and especially in the epidemic spread of multi-resistance. This ability reflects the variety of resistance genes that associate with the streptomycin/spectinomycin-resistance gene (aadA) of...
