Transfer of Beta-Lactamase Genes of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by Conjugation

Recent isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae have been shown to be resistant to penicillin because they produce β-lactamase. In this study, conjugal transfer of the β-lactamase gene to a recipient N. gonorrhoeae strain occurred in one of the two strains studied but not in the other. The transconjugant could also conjugally transfer the β-lactamase gene to an Escherichia coli strain.
