Twelve out of 96 Veillonella spp. isolated from oral samples harbored tetracycline resistance genes. The most common resistance gene was tet(M). A tet(M)-positive Veillonella dispar strain was shown to transfer a Tn916-like element to four Streptococcus spp. by conjugation at a frequency of 5.2 x 10(-6) to 4.5 x 10(-5) per recipient.
