Molecular analysis of a chromosome-carried erm(B) gene and its flanking insertion points in Lactobacillus johnsonii G41

Abstract

An erm(B) gene carried on the Lactobacillus johnsonii G41 chromosome and the upstream and downstream regions were fully sequenced. Apparently, a 1,495-bp segment of pRE25 from Enterococcus faecalis carrying the erm(B) gene became inserted, by an unknown mechanism, into the L. johnsonii chromosome.
