Article Synopsis
- A structure analysis was conducted on antibiotic-resistance gene regions in conjugative plasmids from four bacteria found in fish farms, focusing on kanamycin and tetracycline resistance genes.
- The study revealed that Citrobacter sp. TA3 and TA6, as well as Alteromonas sp. TA55, had resistance genes flanked by IS26 elements, while Salmonella sp. TC67 exhibited a different configuration but also contained similar resistance genes.
- The findings suggest potential horizontal gene transfer between different genera in fish farm A, indicated by structural similarities in their mobile genetic elements and antibiotic resistance genes.
Three variants of the composite transposon Tn10 were extracted from transferable plasmids of fish farm bacteria. These variants were identical in insertions with IS10, but differed in another class I transposon insertion and a region of homologous recombination downstream of tetB.

Of the 66 Tet(r) gram-negative strains, 29 were identified as carrying tetB only. Four carried tetY, and another four carried tetD.
