TLDR
The characterization of Tn2 transpositions into the chromosome and into an F' lacproB episome of E. coli is reported, and it seems probable that insertion and deletion occur simultaneously.

A multiresistant clone of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O118:[H16] is spread in cattle and humans over different european countries

TL;DR: The data suggest that strains belonging to the STEC O118:[H16] clonal group have a characteristic propensity for acquisition and maintenance of resistance determinants, thus contrasting to STEC belonging to other serotypes.

Genetic analysis of transpositions in the lac region of Escherichia coli.

TL;DR: Inspection of the DNA sequence for the I and Y genes, and parts of the Z gene, shows a strong correlation between A + T richness and regions of preferential integration.

Genetic analysis of instability in Petunia hybrida : 2. Unstable mutations at different loci as the result of transpositions of the genetic element inserted at the An1 locus.

TL;DR: Results provide additional arguments in favour of the hypothesis posed in an earlier paper that reversions of unstable An1 alleles are not the result of excision of the inserted transposable element, but are due to the repair of secondary mutations induced by the insert in the regulatory region of the locus.

Genetic analysis of instability in Petunia hybrida

TL;DR: The reversion frequency of three unstable alleles in Petunia hybrida is drastically reduced when the temperature is raised from 18 °C to 25 °C, and it is established that this temperature effect is reversible.

Genetic studies of the lac repressor

TL;DR: Schmeissner et al. as mentioned in this paper used a fine structure deletion map to construct a combined gene-protein map, in which deletion intervals on the genetic map are correlated with known segments of the protein sequence.

Origin of the TEM-beta-lactamase gene found on plasmids.

TL;DR: A sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid which includes the TEM beta-lactamase gene is present on the small plasmid RSF 1030 (R-Amp) and is also present on naturally occurring plasmids of the F1, F11, N, X, O, I, C, and W incompatibility groups that do not specify ampicillin resistance or specify O-type beta- lactamases.
