Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can be detected in pristine environments and animals. Tetracycline (TC) is frequently used for wide areas of veterinary medicine, which selects TC-resistant bacteria. The TC resistance genes are known from natural environments, and tet(M) is the broadest host range tet gene. Here, we report that TC-resistant bacteria and the TC resistance gene tet(M) were diverse in Adelie penguin intestines, even within a single...
