Expression of R Factor-Mediated Resistance to Tetracycline in Escherichia coli Minicells

T J Franklin 1, S J Foster 1
PMCID: PMC428943  PMID: 4599118

Abstract

The induction and expression of tetracycline resistance in R+ minicells from Escherichia coli is incomplete, suggesting that some chromosomally mediated function is necessary for the full expression of tetracycline resistance.
