Induction of chloramphenicol and tetracycline resistance in Flexibacter sp. strain FS-1.

G J Barcak, R P Burchard
PMCID: PMC214963  PMID: 3855409

Abstract

The gliding bacterium Flexibacter sp. strain FS-1 exhibits inducible resistance to chloramphenicol (Cmr) and tetracycline (Tcr). Either chloramphenicol or tetracycline alone induced a Cmr Tcr phenotype. The resistance is apparently not plasmid encoded.
