Received 24 February 1999/Accepted 24 March 1999
Letters of the English alphabet have heretofore been used to name
tetracycline resistance determinants. Since all 26 letters have now
been used, a nomenclature employing numerals is recommended for future
determinants, and one laboratory has offered to coordinate the
assignment of numerals.
