ABSTRACT

Tetracycline resistance determinants are widespread and distinguishable genetically and biochemically. The nomenclature for this increasing number of determinants has been varied and inconsistent. This communication suggests ways of naming these determinants and their genes and gene products consistent with current genetic terminology.
