Abstract
tet (32) was identified in three bacterial isolates and in metagenomic DNA from the human oral cavity. The regions immediately flanking the gene were found to have similarities to the mobile elements Tn B1230 from Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens , ATE-3 from Arcanobacterium pyogenes , and CTn 5 from Clostridium difficile .Keywords
