Molecular ecology of tetracycline resistance: development and validation of primers for detection of tetracycline resistance genes encoding ribosomal protection proteins.

PMID 11133424 · 2001

The study identified and characterized multiple tetracycline resistance genes encoding ribosomal protection proteins (RPPs) including tet(M), tet(O), tet(W), tet(Q), tet(S), tet(T), tetB(P), and otrA. These genes were detected in various bacterial species and environments, highlighting their prevalence and potential for horizontal gene transfer.

Molecular characterization of pneumococci with efflux-mediated erythromycin resistance and identification of a novel mef gene subclass, mef(I).

PMID 16304164 · 2005

The study identified a novel mef gene subclass, mef(I), in pneumococci with efflux-mediated erythromycin resistance. It also characterized the presence of tet(M) and tet(O) genes contributing to tetracycline resistance in certain isolates.

Simultaneous detection of nine antibiotic resistance-related genes in Streptococcus agalactiae using multiplex PCR and reverse line blot hybridization assay.

PMID 16377687 · 2006

The study developed a multiplex PCR and reverse line blot hybridization assay to detect nine antibiotic resistance-related genes in Streptococcus agalactiae, including erm(B), erm(A/TR), mef(A/E), tet(M), tet(O), aphA-3, aad-6, int-Tn, and mreA. These genes were found to be associated with resistance to macrolides, lincosamides, streptogramin B, tetracyclines, and aminoglycosides.
