Abstract excerpt
The chloramphenicol resistance gene catD from Clostridium difficile was shown to be encoded on the transposons Tn4453a and Tn4453b, which were structurally and functionally related to Tn4451 from Clostridium perfringens. Tn4453a and Tn4453b excised precisely from recombinant plasmids, generating...
