Figure 1.
Southern blot analysis of total genomic DNA undigested and digested with either HindIII and PstI from the S. thermophilus strains resistant to tetracycline (A) and erythromycin (B), respectively. As a probe, internal segments of tet(S) (in A) and ermB (in B) genes obtained by specific PCR and labeled with digoxigenin (Roche) were used. Molecular weight markers: A, digoxigenin-labeled, EcoRI and HindIII-digested lambda DNA; B, digoxigenin-labeled, HindIII-digested lambda DNA. Size of the fragments (in kbp) is indicated. The code numbers of the resistant strains are given above the lane numbers.
