TL;DR: A novel resistance gene, named poxtA, encoding a protein of the antibiotic resistance (ARE) ABC-F lineage, was identified in the genome of an MRSA of clinical origin and can confer decreased susceptibility to phenicols, oxazolidinones and tetracyclines.

TL;DR: This is the first report demonstrating the presence of the tet(O) gene in S. pyogenes and showing that it may be linked with another gene and can be moved by conjugation from one chromosome to another.

TL;DR: The high frequency of association between a tetracycline-susceptible phenotype and tet(M) genes suggests that transposons of the Tn916 family, so far typically associated solely with a tadesse-resistant phenotype, may be more widespread in S. pyogenes than currently believed.

TL;DR: The result shows that M. beecheii honeys is an important source of bioactive compounds with relevant biological properties compared to A. mellifera honey.

TL;DR: Test for the optrA gene in 81 Enterococcus isolates from blood samples found only two positive isolates, and the genetic contexts of both genes proved capable of undergoing excision in circular form, and were completely sequenced.
