The microarray dataset of genes differently transcribed in IST439 and IST4113 was searched for antibiotic-resistance determinants identified by Holden et al., 2009 and Bazzini et al., 2011. To confirm the results obtained in the microarray analysis, the transcript levels from some of the genes listed were compared by quantitative real time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR).
