The DNA fragment (3.3 kb) containing the erythromycin resistance determinant was cloned from Escherichia coli Tf481A and sequenced. Deletion and complementation analyses indicated that the expression of high-level resistance to erythromycin requires two genes, mphA and mrx, which encode macrolide 2'-phosphotransferase I and an unidentified hydrophobic protein, respectively.
从大肠杆菌Tf481A中克隆出含有红霉素抗性决定簇的DNA片段(3.3 kb)并进行测序。缺失和互补分析表明,对红霉素的高水平抗性表达需要两个基因,即mphA和mrx,它们分别编码大环内酯2'-磷酸转移酶I和一种未知的疏水蛋白。
