Nomenclature for tetracycline resistance determinants [PDF]
Tetracycline resistance determinants are widespread and distinguishable genetically and biochemically. The nomenclature for this increasing number of determinants has been varied and inconsistent. This communication suggests ways of naming these determinants and their genes and gene products consistent with current genetic terminology.

Camel Streptococcus agalactiae populations are associated with specific disease complexes and acquired the tetracycline resistance gene tetM via a Tn916-like element [PDF]
Camels are the most valuable livestock species in the Horn of Africa and play a pivotal role in the nutritional sustainability for millions of people.

Genetic Basis of Tetracycline Resistance in Bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis
All strains of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis described to date show medium level resistance to tetracycline. Screening of 26 strains from a variety of sources revealed the presence of tet(W) in all isolates. A transposase gene upstream of tet(W)

Monitoring the prevalence of the tetracycline efflux genes among E. coli isolated from chicken colibacillosis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Avian Colibacillosis can lead to important economic losses in the poultry industry. Escherichia coli the causative agent of this disease has acquired resistance to different antibiotics, including tetracycline.

Tetracycline resistance in Peptostreptococcus species [PDF]
Of 15 Peptostreptococcus sp. strains isolated between 1975 and 1984, 13 hybridized with the Tet K, Tet M, or Tet O determinant. A donor Peptostreptococcus anaerobius strain carrying the three determinants could transfer Tet M to P. anaerobius and Fusobacterium nucleatum recipients but not to an Enterococcus faecalis recipient, while neither Tet K nor ...

Uptake of Minocycline and Tetracycline by Tetracycline-Susceptible and -Resistant Bacteria [PDF]
Minocycline (7-dimethylamino-6-demethyl-6-deoxytetracycline) is a new semisynthetic tetracycline with potent activity against tetracycline-susceptible bacterial pathogens and unique activity against tetracycline-resistant staphylococci.

Plasmid-encoded Tet B tetracycline resistance in Haemophilus parasuis [PDF]
The complete sequence of two plasmids, pHS-Tet (5.1 kb) and pHS-Rec (9.5 kb), isolated from Haemophilus parasuis strain HS1543 has been obtained. Plasmid pHS-Tet contains four open reading frames including a tet(B) tetracycline resistance gene which ...

Tetracyclines and Tetracycline Resistance in Agricultural Soils: Microcosm and Field Studies [PDF]
The influence of the use of antibiotics on the prevalence of resistance genes in the environment is still poorly understood. We studied the diversity of tetracycline and sulfonamide resistance genes as influenced by fertilization with pig manure in soil microcosms and at two field locations.
