Transfer of Beta-Lactamase Genes of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by Conjugation

Linda A. Kirven and Clyde Thornsberry

Center for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia 30333

ABSTRACT

Recent isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae have been shown to be resistant to penicillin because they produce ß-lactamase. In this study, conjugal transfer of the ß-lactamase gene to a recipient N. gonorrhoeae strain occurred in one of the two strains studied but not in the other. The transconjugant could also conjugally transfer the ß-lactamase gene to an Escherichia coli strain.
