Transferable Tet M in Fusobacterium nucleatum

Abstract
Two tetracycline-resistant Fusobacterium nucleatum strains were able to transfer, by conjugation, tetracycline resistance and the Tet M determinant to recipient F . nucleatum, Peptostreptococcus anaerobius , and Enterococcus faecalis strains at a frequency of 10 −1 to 10 −8 .
