Tn1549
  • Antibiotic Resistance
  • Vancomycin
Characteristics
Tn1549 is a 34 kb conjugative transposon harbouring a vanB operon. Tn 1549 is highly similar to Tn5382 and together they are called Tn1549-like transposons. Tn1549 contains 30 ORFs which are generally organized like the Tn916 family of conjugative transposons in which the vanB2 operon replaces the tet(M) gene.
