Through sequence analysis, it was shown that tet(M) genes in two of the isolates belong to sequence homology group (SHG) II, a group comprising chromosomally encoded tet(M) genes previously found in Staphylococcus aureus and in lactobacilli. The tet(M) genes of the two other L. monocytogenes strains were associated with a member of the Tn916-Tn1545 family of conjugative transposons and were closely related to SHG III, which harbours enterococcal tet(M) genes associated with Tn916. One of these transposon-containing strains was able to transfer the tet(M) gene to Enterococcus faecalis recipient strain JH2-2. Collectively, these sequence and conjugation data indicate that the acquisition of tet(M) by Listeria strains may be triggered by successive transfers between other Gram-positive organisms.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pt 12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16278428?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
