摘要：

Tn6000 (formerly EfcTn1) from Enterococcus casseliflavus strain 664.1H1 (previously Enterococcus faecium 664.1H1) is a tetracycline resistance-encoding conjugative transposon of the Tn916-like family of mobile genetic elements. Sequence analysis of Tn6000 shows that it has a novel modular structure, comprising fragments of diverse proven and putative mobile elements including plasmids, conjugative transposons and virulence and pathogenicity islands.
