The florfenicol resistance gene (pp-flo) derived from a transferable R-plasmid of Pasteurella piscicida consisted of 1,122 nucleotides, and the predicted amino acid sequence showed 47.4% identity to that of a non-enzymatic chloramphenicol resistance gene (cmlA). The pp-flo gene was located in the downstream region of the sulfonamide resistance gene of the transferable R-plasmid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
