Abstract
A new transposon, Tn2101, was isolated from plasmid Rms433 in Enterobacter cloacae. Tn2101 encoded the formation of type IV (carbenicillin- hydrolyzing) .beta.-lactamase and multiple resistance to streptomycin, sulfanilamide, spectinomycin and Hg, in addition to ampicillin. Tn2101 was transposable between conjugative (or nonconjugative) plasmids and the host chromosome. Transposition occurred independently of the general recombination ability of the host cell. Tn2101 had a molecular size of 9.5 .times. 106 and contained short inverted repeat terminal sequences.This publication has 31 references indexed in Scilit:
