An IS257-derived hybrid promoter directs transcription of a tetA(K) tetracycline resistance gene in the Staphylococcus aureus chromosomal mec region.

PMID 10852863 · 2000

The study identifies a novel hybrid promoter derived from IS257 that drives the transcription of the tetA(K) gene, leading to increased tetracycline resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.
