Figure 1. Representative mobile genetic elements carrying inducible resistance genes.

Figure 1

(A) Conjugative transposon Tn916 and Tn916-like mosaic elements elements carrying inducible macrolide resistance (blue) and tetracycline resistance (yellow) genes. (B) Conjugative transposon Tn1546 encoding inducible vancomycin resistance. (C) Transposon Tn552 encoding inducible β-lactam resistance. (D) Staphylococcal cassette chromosome encoding resistance to β-lactams. Resistance determinants are indicated in blue; genes encoding regulatory (red) or accessory functions (black) for antibiotic resistance are also indicated. See text for details.
