Removal of antibiotic resistance gene-carrying plasmids from Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC 55730 and characterization of the resulting daughter strain, L. reuteri DSM 17938.

PMID: 186895092008

Key Findings

The study identified and characterized the tetracycline resistance gene tet(W) and the lincomycin resistance gene lnu(A) carried on plasmids pLR581 and pLR585 in Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC 55730. These plasmids were successfully removed, resulting in the strain L. reuteri DSM 17938, which lost the corresponding resistances.
