title: Characterization of unusual tetracycline-resistant gram-positive bacteria.
abstract: Tetracycline-resistant Tet M-negative isolates of Actinomyces viscosus, Eubacterium lentum, Mobiluncus curtisii, and Mobiluncus mulieris were screened with the Tet K, Tet L, and Tet O DNA probes. Ten (71%) of the resistant Mobiluncus strains hybridized with the Tet O probe, two of the three E. lentum strains hybridized with the Tet K probe, and the A. viscosus isolate hybridized with the Tet L probe.
