Evidence for transfer of antibiotic-resistance genes in soil populations of streptomycetes.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 1998

Wiener P, Egan S, Huddleston A S, Wellington E M

Abstract excerpt

Phylogenetic analysis was used to evaluate the hypothesis of gene transfer in streptomycetes, many of which are antibiotic producers. The diversity and possible origins of streptomycin-resistance genes was investigated for a population of Streptomyces strains isolated from a site in Brazil where antibiotic production had previously been implicated The analysis provides compelling evidence for the transfer of...
