title: [Transformation of Mycoplasma hominis by plasmid pAM120 using electroporation].
abstract: Mycoplasma hominis was transformed by electroporation with plasmid pAM120 containing the transposon Tn916 that carried the tetM gene responsible for the resistance to tetracycline. The frequency of transformation was 10(-7)-10(-8) colony-forming units (CFU) per 10 micrograms of plasmid DNA. The PCR analysis of transformed DNA confirmed the transposon integration into the mycoplasma genome.
