Determination the site of antibiotic resistance genes in Escherichia coli isolated From Urinary Tract Infection by Karzan Abdulmuhsin Mohammad, Zirak F. Ahmed, Bayar A Mohammed, Rasti H Saeed

“…The results showed that the antibiotic resistance genes of Amikacin, Erythromycin, Tetracyclin, and Trimethoprim were located on a plasmid, whereas Amoxicillin, Ampicillin, Chloramphenicol, Ciprofloxacin, Nalidixic acid and Penicillin were located on chromosomal DNA. The results also demonstrated an inability to produce alpha or beta-hemolysin indicating that the genes which are responsible for hemolysin production were also located on chromosomal DNA.  …”

Biodesulfurization enhancement via targeted re-insertion of the flavin reductase dszD in the genome of the model strain Rhodococcus qingshengii IGTS8 by Olga Martzoukou, Fotios Klenias, Eleni Kopsini, Dimitris G. Hatzinikolaou

“…The model desulfurizing strain Rhodococcus qingshengii IGTS8 is responsible for the removal of sulfur through the 4S metabolic pathway, operating through a plasmid-borne dszABC operon, as well as the chromosomal gene for the flavin reductase, dszD. However, naturally occurring biocatalysts do not exhibit the required BDS activity to be useful for industrial applications and for this reason, genetic modifications are currently being explored. …”
