Description
Summary:The novel 12,932-bp nonconjugative multiresistance transposon Tn was identified in the chromosomal DNA of a porcine strain. Tn belongs to the Tn family of transposons. It shares the same arrangement of the transposase genes , and with Tn However, in addition to the Tn -associated resistance genes and (A), Tn harbored the resistance genes and Circular forms of Tn were detected and suggest the functional activity of this transposon.
