abstract：:Tn4527 was isolated from a Salmonella typhimurium strain obtained in Brazil. Its size is 19.6 kb and it carries resistance to trimethoprim, spectinomycin, and streptomycin, as in the case of Tn7 (14 kb). A restriction analysis of the transposon shows regions of similarity to Tn7 mixed with extra DNA. The 2.6-kb and 2....
