Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying Antimicrobial Resistance Genes with DNA Microarrays
TL;DR: Glass-based microarray technology has the potential for screening a large number of different antibiotic resistance genes by the relatively low-cost methods outlined in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutans Streptococci Dose Response to Xylitol Chewing Gum
Peter Milgrom,Kiet A. Ly,Marilyn C. Roberts,Marilynn Rothen,Gregory M. Mueller,David K. Yamaguchi +5 more
TL;DR: Xylitol is promoted in caries-preventive strategies, yet its effective dose range is unclear, and a plateau effect is suggested between 6.44 g and 10.32 g xylitol/day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nomenclature for tetracycline resistance determinants.
Stuart B. Levy,Laura M. McMurry,V Burdett,P Courvalin,W Hillen,Marilyn C. Roberts,D E Taylor +6 more
TL;DR: This communication suggests ways of naming tetracycline resistance determinants and their genes and gene products consistent with current genetic terminology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tetracycline-resistant Mycoplasma hominis strains contain streptococcal tetM sequences.
TL;DR: This is the first description of tetM in an unrelated genus and suggests the spread of tetracycline determinant tetM from Streptococcus spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of two beta-lactamase-specifying plasmids isolated from Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
TL;DR: The molecular nature of two distinct gonococcal R plasmids, encoding beta-lactamase activity were examined and it was shown that they share about 70% of their sequences and are closely related to RSF0885, a 4.1 X 10(6)-dalton plasmid found in a beta- lactamasing strain of Haemophilus influenzae.
