Exogenous plasmid capture to characterize tetracycline-resistance plasmids in sprouts obtained from retail in Germany by Maria Stein, Erik Brinks, Diana Habermann, Gyu-Sung Cho, Charles M. A. P. Franz

“…Most of the captured long plasmids carried either the tet(A) or tet(D) resistance gene, belonged to the IncFI or IncFII replicon types, and were predicted as conjugative. While the smaller plasmids contained the tet(A) tetracycline resistance gene as well as additional quinolone (qnrS1), sulfonamide (sul1) and trimethoprim (dfrA1) resistance genes, the larger plasmids only contained the tet(D) resistance gene. …”
