Variation in the persistence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in experimentally inoculated 6-week-old conventional lambs.

abstract：:A single-copy gene, designated TruMDR2, encoding an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter was cloned and sequenced from the dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum. The ORF of TruMDR2 was 4048 nt and the deduced amino acid sequence showed high homology with ABC transporters involved in drug efflux in other fungi. The encode...
