Transfer of the chromosomally encoded tetracycline resistance gene tet(M) from marine bacteria to Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis

2009-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The transferability of the tetracycline (TC) resistance gene tet(M) from marine bacteria to human enteric bacteria was examined by a filter-mating method. Vibrio spp., Lactococcus garvieae, Bacillus spp., Lactobacillus sp., and Paenibacillus sp. were used as donors, and Escherichia coli JM109 and Enterococcus faecalis JH2-2 were used as recipients. The combination of Vibrio spp. and E. coli resulted in 5/68 positi...
