RESUMO
A small open reading frame from the Escherichia coli chromosome, bcrCEC, encodes a homologue to the BcrC subunit of the bacitracin permease from Bacillus licheniformis. We show that disruption of the chromosomal bcrCEC gene causes bacitracin sensitivity and, conversely, that BcrCEC confers bacitracin resistance when expressed from a multicopy plasmid.
