Heterogeneity of tetracycline resistance determinants in Streptococcus.
We found that naturally occurring tetracycline resistance in streptococci is encoded by more than one genetic determinant. Two of these distinct determinants were cloned, and the regions that are necessary and sufficient for expression of tetracycline resistance were defined by deletion analysis. These cloned determinants were further characterized by DNA-DNA hybridization experiments which als...
متن کاملNomenclature for new tetracycline resistance determinants.
Letters of the English alphabet have heretofore been used to name tetracycline resistance determinants. Since all 26 letters have now been used, a nomenclature employing numerals is recommended for future determinants, and one laboratory has offered to coordinate the assignment of numerals.
متن کاملGenetic organization and distribution of tetracycline resistance determinants in Clostridium perfringens.
The Tet P determinant from the conjugative Clostridium perfringens R plasmid pCW3 two functional overlapping tetracycline resistance genes, tetA(P) and tetB(P). The tetA(P) gene encodes a putative 46-kDa transmembrane protein which mediates active efflux of tetracycline from the cell, while tetB(P) encodes a putative 72.6-kDa protein which has significant similarity to Tet M-like tetracycline r...
متن کاملgenetic determinants differences between vibrio cholerae biotypes
vibrio cholerae o1 are classified into two biotypes, classical and el tor based on susceptibility to bacteriophages and some biochemical properties, each encoding a biotype-specific genetic determinants. before 1961, most epidemics had been caused by the classical biotype. however, with the passage of time, the classical biotype missed from the scenario and the el tor emerged as the major bioty...
متن کاملActive efflux of tetracycline encoded by four genetically different tetracycline resistance determinants in Escherichia coli.
Tetracycline resistance encoded by four genetically different determinants residing on plasmids in Escherichia coli was shown to be associated in each case with an energy-dependent decrease in accumulation of the antibiotic in whole cells in which resistance had been induced. The different class determinants examined were those on plasmids RP1 (class A), R222 (class B), R144 (class C), and RA1 ...
