a
Antibiotic susceptibility profiles, expressed as diameters of the inhibition zones, were determined by the standard disk diffusion method for the bacterial isolates indicated. Abbreviations: ERY, erythromycin; TET, tetracycline; TEL, telithromycin; CIP, ciprofloxacin; CHL, chloramphenicol. A value of “0” means that an inhibition zone around the disk (6 mm) was not detected.
b
pCR-BluntII-TOPO (pTΦ) is the empty cloning vector.
