A DNA sequence upstream of the tet(O) gene is required for full expression of tetracycline resistance.

چکیده
The DNA sequences upstream of the tet(O) and tet(M) open reading frames (ORFs) (ca. 300 bp) were found to share a higher degree of homology than those of the tet(O) and tet(M) ORFs themselves. A transcription initiation site for tet(O) was located by primer extension analysis. Campylobacter coli was found to use a promoter sequence different from that used by Escherichia coli. The sequence upstream of tet(O) was shown to be required in cis for high-level resistance to tetracycline.

Detection of tetracycline resistance genes in bacteria isolated from fish farms using polymerase chain reaction
Five common tetracycline resistance genes tet(A), tet(B), tet(M), tet(O) and tet(S) were studied by polymerase chain reaction in 100 bacteria isolated from Iranian fish farms. In the antibiogram test most of the bacteria were either intermediately or completely resistant to tetracycline. Nine isolates out of 46 Aeromonas spp. contained eithe...

متن کاملAnalysis of tetracycline resistance tet(W) genes and their flanking sequences in intestinal Bifidobacterium species.
OBJECTIVES The tet(W) gene provides tetracycline resistance to a wide range of anaerobic intestinal and ruminal bacteria, but little is known about the molecular organization of the tet(W) gene. The aim of this study was to gain new insights into the molecular organization of the tet(W) gene in bifidobacteria strains from humans. METHODS A segment of DNA encompassing the whole tet(W) gene and...

Background and Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the three pathogens that has become a global disease control and treatment problem due to its resistance to common antibiotics. For this reason, it is crucial to study the genes that cause antibiotic resistance in it. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the phenotypic and genotypic frequency of tetracycline resistance in ...
