	Proteus mirabilis strain PM2		584
Experiment for Molecule Alteration	RNA-DNA hybridizations assay
Mechanism Description	In Proteus mirabilis PM13 chloramphenicol resistance is mediated by the cat gene, a single copy of which is present in both resistant and sensitive isolates and which reverts at a high frequency. RNA measurements show an about 8.5-fold increase in cat-specific mRNA in cells expressing the resistance phenotype as compared with those which are sensitive to chloramphenicol.
