Conjugal transfer of aminoglycoside and macrolide resistance between Enterococcus faecium isolates in the intestine of streptomycin-treated mice
2004-05-13
Abstract excerpt
The purpose was to study conjugal transfer of resistance genes between a multi-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolate and a sensitive E. faecium isolate. Co-transfer of erm(B)-Tn5405-like element and aac(6′)-Ie-aph(2′)-Ia was obtained in both in vivo and in vitro. Plasmid profiles and Southern blots showed that both the erm(B)-Tn5405-like element and aac(6′)-Ie-aph(2′)-Ia were placed on the same large plasmid (>14...
