Letters of the English alphabet have heretofore been used to name tetracycline resistance determinants. Since all 26 letters have now been used, a nomenclature employing numerals is recommended for future determinants, and one laboratory has offered to coordinate the assignment of numerals.
此前一直使用英文字母来命名四环素抗性决定簇。由于现已用完了所有26个字母,因此建议对未来的决定簇采用数字命名法,并且有一个实验室主动提出协调数字的分配。
