摘要
A novel mechanism of resistance of rifampicin has recently been reported in which this antibiotic is inactivated. Here we describe the cloning of DNA from a nocardioform strain conferring this ability to inactivate rifampicin. Cloning was on the basis of complementation, as an increased resistance to the antibiotic. The genetic information was on a 8.3-kb Bg/II fragment.
