Identification of a circular intermediate in the transfer and transposition of Tn4555, a mobilizable transposon from Bacteroides spp.
(East Carolina University, 1993-05)Transmissible cefoxitin (FX) resistance in Bacteroides vulgatus CLA341 was associated with the 12.5-kb, mobilizable transposon, Tn4555, which encoded the 13-lactamase gene cfxA. Transfer occurred by a conjugation-like ... -
The Transfer Origin for Bacteroides Mobilizable Transposon Tn4555 Is Related to a Plasmid Family from Gram-Positive Bacteria
(East Carolina University, 1998-01)Conjugal transfer of Bacteroides mobilizable transposon Tn4555 was examined with an Escherichia coli-based assay system. It was shown that mobilization required the cis-acting oriTTn region and that the Tn4555 mobATn gene ...
