- Evidencia de transferencia horizontal de genes de resistencia a antibióticos provenientes de bacterias ambientales Patricio A. Valencia C. Verónica Barragán Gabriel A. Trueba P. Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) Conjugation environmental bacteria horizontal gen transfer antibiotic resistance genes This study looked for the presence of environmental antibiotic resistance genes and their capacity to disseminate through conjugation. Water and soil samples were collected from pristine zones of the Ecuadorian Amazon Basin (Sucumbíos, Napo and Orellana provinces), and they were inoculated in a modify wheat grain medium (WGM). Some of WGM cultures contained diverse bacterial species that were able to transfer antibiotic resistance genes to Escherichia coli K12. Finally, 10 strains were isolated and proved to be responsible of antibiotic resistance gene transfer. Strains were identified (using 16S rDNA sequences) as Serratia sp., Pseudomonas sp., Listonella sp., and Aeromonas sp. In this work, we proved that environmental bacteria can transfer antibiotic resistance genes as tetraciclin and ampicilin. 2010 artículo científico 1390-5384 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=726180822007 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7261 Avances en Ciencias e Ingenierías application/pdf Universidad San Francisco de Quito Avances en Ciencias e Ingenierías (Ecuador) Num.2 Vol.2
