Tn916ΔE: a Tn916 transposon derivative expressing erythromycin resistance
CE Rubens, LM Heggen - Plasmid, 1988 - Elsevier
The tetracycline resistance gene encoded within the transposon Tn916 was replaced with
the gene encoding erythromycin resistance from the plasmid pVA838. The derivative
transposon of Tn916 was designated Tn916ΔE and was introduced into the Streptococcus
faecalis chromosome by protoplast transformation. The conjugation/transposition functions
of Tn916ΔE were similar to those observed for Tn916 in S. faecalis and Tn916ΔE was
capable of self-conjugation at frequencies similar to those of other S. faecalis and Group B …
