Genetic basis of tetracycline resistance in Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis

Two-high-level-tetracycline-resistance Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis strains were shown to carry DNA sequences which hybridized with the Tet B probe. The determinant appeared to be located in the chromosome and was nontransferable.
