Phage ϕC2 Mediates Transduction of Tn<italic toggle="yes">6215</italic>, Encoding Erythromycin Resistance, between <named-content content-type="genus-species">Clostridium difficile</named-content> Strains
ABSTRACT In this work, we show that Clostridium difficile phage ϕC2 transduces erm(B), which confers erythromycin resistance, from a donor to a recipient strain at a frequency of 10−6 per PFU. The transductants were lysogenic for ϕC2 and contained the erm(B) gene in a novel transposon, Tn6215. This...
