Twelve out of 96 Veillonella spp. isolated from oral samples harbored tetracycline resistance genes. The most common resistance gene was tet(M). A tet(M)-positive Veillonella dispar strain was shown to transfer a Tn916-like element to four Streptococcus spp. by conjugation at a frequency of 5.2 x 10(-6) to 4.5 x 10(-5) per recipient.
从口腔样本中分离出的96株韦荣氏菌属细菌中,有12株携带四环素抗性基因。最常见的抗性基因是tet(M)。一株tet(M)阳性的殊异韦荣氏菌菌株通过接合作用,以每受体5.2×10⁻⁶至4.5×10⁻⁵的频率将一个Tn916样元件转移至4种链球菌属细菌。
