<p>Chimeric kanamycin resistance genes are disclosed. The chimeric genes comprise a nucleotide sequence that encodes ANT(4')-IA enzyme operably linked to a heterologous promoter and a heterologous termination sequence. Plasmids that comprise the chimeric kanamycin resistance gene are disclosed. Bacterial cells that comprise the chimeric gene on a plasmid or integrated into the bacterial genome are disclosed. Methods of producing plasmids are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising plasmids that include the chimeric genes are disclosed. Methods of enhancing growth of bacterial cells are disclosed. Plasmids which comprise the chimeric kanamycin resistance gene and the sequences from herpes simplex virus gene HSVgD2 or human immunodeficiency virus are disclosed.</p> |
