Patent abstract
The present invention relates to methods of identifying putative antibiotic resistance genes. According to one embodiment, this is carried out by first isolating a microbial DNA molecule or cDNA which encodes a putative antibiotic resistance protein or polypeptide and then determining whether the microbial DNA molecule or cDNA confers resistance against an antibiotic agent. According to another embodiment, this is carried out by first determining whether a microbial DNA molecule or cDNA confers resistance against an antibiotic agent when the microbial DNA molecule is expressed in its native cell following transformation of the cell and then isolating the microbial DNA molecule or cDNA which confers resistance against the antibiotic agent.
