Common region CR1 for expression of antibiotic resistance genes

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2006 Jul;50(7):2544-6. doi: 10.1128/AAC.00609-05.

Abstract

The CR1 element defined by an orf513 gene encoding a putative recombinase and a recombination crossover site has been identified upstream of several antibiotic resistance genes in Enterobacteriaceae. This CR1 element was shown to bring promoter sequences that play a role in the expression of unrelated antibiotic resistance genes.
