Identification of the product of tetP gene: a possible mechanistic basis for tetracycline resistance in Clostridium perfringens.

Folia microbiologica - 1 Jan 1993

Saksena N K, Truffaut N

Abstract excerpt

Using cloning and in vitro protein synthesis we identified the polypeptide product of the tetP gene of Clostridium perfringens which is responsible for conferring resistance to tetracycline. Two EcoRI fragments invariably share the resistance determinant in all of the Clostridium perfringens isol...
