The presence of the tetO gene in a variety of tetracycline-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes from Washington State
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
Seventy tetracycline-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae were tested for the presence of tetracycline resistance genes, tetM and tetO, using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and DNA-DNA hybridization. Seven isolates representing five serotypes (12, 22, 6A, 19F and 23) carried the tetO gene. Five of the isolates were genetically unrelated as judged using pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis. Two...
