Rethinking the Primary Functions of the “Tellurium Resistance Genes”

2025-04-19

Abstract excerpt

The metalloid tellurium (Te) is toxic to bacteria; however, the element is also extremely rare. Thus, most bacteria will never encounter Te in their environment. Nonetheless significant research has been performed on bacterial Te resistance, due to the medical applications of the element. The so-called “tellurium resistance (TeR) genes” were first described on plasmids isolated from clinically relevant...
