MeSH headings : Aerobiosis; Anaerobiosis; Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Campylobacter coli / drug effects; Campylobacter coli / genetics; DNA, Bacterial / metabolism; Deoxyribonuclease I / metabolism; Drug Resistance, Bacterial; Erythromycin / pharmacology; Nalidixic Acid / pharmacology; Temperature; Transformation, Bacterial

TL;DR: It is suggested that transformation to erythromycin resistance may be significantly more frequent in the gastrointestinal tract of hosts such as poultry (at 42°C) than in other habitats characterized by lower temperatures, whereas transformation to nalidixic acid resistance May be highly efficient both within and outside the animal hosts.

MeSH headings : Animals; Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Base Sequence; Campylobacter coli / drug effects; Campylobacter coli / genetics; Campylobacter coli / isolation & purification; DNA, Bacterial / genetics; Drug Resistance, Bacterial / genetics; Erythromycin / pharmacology; Food Microbiology; Genes, Bacterial; Humans; Meat / microbiology; Molecular Sequence Data; Mutation; Point Mutation; RNA, Bacterial / genetics; RNA, Ribosomal, 23S / genetics; Sequence Homology, Amino Acid; Sus scrofa / microbiology; Transformation, Genetic; Turkeys / microbiology

TL;DR: It is suggested that natural transformation has the potential to contribute to the dissemination of high-level resistance to erythromycin among C. coli strains colonizing meat animals. (via Semantic Scholar)
