Eleven of 12 tetracycline-resistant Listeria innocua strains, isolated from chicken or turkey frankfurters and mozzarella cheese, were shown to carry DNA sequences which hybridized with the Tet M probe; of these, two strains also hybridized with Tet K. The remaining strain hybridized with the Tet K probe only. The Tet M determinant appeared to be located on the chromosome; in one case, it was transferable by conjugation to recipients Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria ivanovii, and Enterococcus faecalis.
