Abstract

Mechanisms of Resistance

Three mer transposons from the Murray collection of preantibiotic enterobacteria show >99% sequence identity to current isolates. Tn 5073 is most closely related to Tn 5036 and Tn 1696 , and Tn 5074 is most closely related to Tn 5053 . Tn 5075 is most closely related to Tn 21 but lacks integron In2 and is flanked by insertion elements.
