Genetic environment of 16S rRNA methylase gene rmtD

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2008 Jun;52(6):2270-2. doi: 10.1128/AAC.00037-08. Epub 2008 Apr 7.

Abstract

The genetic environment of the 16S rRNA methylase gene rmtD was investigated. rmtD was flanked by a novel ISCR motif located downstream of class I integron In163 in the original Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain. rmtD found in Klebsiella pneumoniae appeared to have been mobilized from P. aeruginosa by an IS26-mediated event.
