Abstract
Mosaic tetracycline resistance genes comprising tet (O), tet (W), and tet (32) sequences were abundant in DNA extracted from pig and human fecal samples, accounting for 78% (50/64) and 46% (37/80) of genes amplified with a tet (O) primer set, respectively, in two samples. The nonmosaic tet (32) gene was isolated from a human saliva bacterium.Keywords
