The influence of the use of antibiotics on the prevalence of resistance genes in the environment is still poorly understood. We studied the diversity of tetracycline and sulfonamide resistance genes as influenced by fertilization with pig manure in soil microcosms and at two field locations. Manure

Tetracycline resistance and hydrogen sulfide production have been previously found to be plasmid-mediated in a naturally-occurring strain of Escherichia coli; both functions are specified by a single conjugative plasmid called pIP231(Te-H2S); pIP231DNA was isolated as covalently closed molecules in
Strains of Escherichia coli K12 heterozygous for the R100-1 tetracycline resistance region were constructed. They carried the wild-type Tetr genes in the chromosome and single site Tets mutations on plasmids. Some heterozygotes could not express tetracycline resistance fully after induction. The mut
