<i>Tet</i> (C) gene transfer between <i>Chlamydia suis</i> strains occurs by homologous recombination after co-infection: Implications for spread of tetracycline-resistance among <i>Chlamydiaceae</i>

2016-09-30

Abstract excerpt

Chlamydia suis is a swine pathogen that also causes zoonotic infections. Many strains contain a tet (C) cassette conferring tetracycline resistance originally acquired by horizontal gene transfer from a Gram-negative donor. As we and others have described the capacity for Chlamydiaceae to exchange DNA by homologous recombination, tet (C)-containing C. suis strains represent a potential source for antibiotic-re...
