Gene Review:

tetA - tetracycline resistance protein

Escherichia coli

Terpe, K., Enne, V.I. et al.

Terpe,

Disease relevance of tetA

Potential silencing of the resistance genes bla(OXA-2), aadA1, sul1, and tetA carried on the plasmid pVE46 in a recent porcine isolate of Escherichia coli was investigated following oral inoculation of the strain into organic piglets [1].
On the promoter side, the main features of the L: -arabinose inducible araBAD promoter (P(BAD)), the lac promoter, the L: -rhamnose inducible rhaP ( BAD ) promoter, the T7 RNA polymerase promoter, the trc and tac promoter, the lambda phage promoter p ( L ), and the anhydrotetracycline-inducible tetA promoter/operator are summarized [2].
