Molecular ecology of tetracycline resistance: development and validation of primers for detection of tetracycline resistance genes encoding ribosomal protection proteins.
PMID: 111334242001
Key Findings
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.
