Fig. 1 Schematic representation of the genetic element structures known to be vectors of mef(A). 1, 2 and 3 depict the forms of the chimeric genetic elements: Tn1207.3, Φ10394.4 and tet(O)–mef(A), respectively. The approximate localisations of the sequences amplified by PCR are shown as boxes labelled with a capital letter (see Table 1 for full description). The comEC, tet(O) and mef(A) genes are also shown.
