METHOD FOR SUPPRESSING EMERGENCE OF DRUG-RESISTANT GERM, ETC.

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for suppressing the emergence of germ having characteristics varied by the transfer of external gene, by suppressing the transfer of genes in various environments into the germ. PSOLUTION: The emergence of microorganisms containing transferred external gene such as a new drug-resistant microorganisms is suppressed by suppressing the transfer of a drug-resistance gene, etc., derived from drug-resistant microorganisms in the environment to other microbial cells by lipofection, etc., or decomposing the drug-resistance gene. The invention relates to a method for suppressing the transfer of gene by a mechanism similar to lipofection and suppressing the emergence of microbial cell containing external gene transferred to the cell such as a drug-resistant microorganism. The invention further relates to a composition for suppressing the emergence of microorganisms containing external genes transferred into the cell such as a drug-resistant microorganism by suppressing the transfer of gene by a mechanism similar to lipofection. Another embodiment of the invention is a kit containing the composition for suppressing the gene transfer caused by a mechanism similar to lipofection. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
