Antibiotic resistance markers inserted adjacent to different cloned genes from Streptococcus mutans were used to determine the relative positions of these genes on the chromosome. The results showed that these genes, fru-1 and gbp, are closely linked to the gtfA-ftf-scrB cluster. However, gtfD was linked neither to this cluster nor to gtfB-gtfC.
