Abstract
The tet (M) gene encodes a protein which is related to tetracycline ribosomal protection, one of the mechanisms of tetracycline resistance. A tet (M) gene that is 100% homologous to the tet (M) gene of Staphylococcus aureus has been found in a clinical isolate of Acinetobacter baumannii , which also carries the tet (A) gene encoding a tetracycline efflux pump.Keywords
