The cfiA gene, encoding an imipenem-hydrolyzing metallo-beta-lactamase produced by Bacteroides fragilis, and insertion-like elements were detected by PCR amplification with B. fragilis strains isolated in Japan. The cfiA gene was found in 1.9 and 4.1% of the imipenem-susceptible B. fragilis isolates collected from 1987 to 1988 and from 1992 to 1994, respectively. Insertion-like elements adjacent to the cfiA gene were found in all nine metallo-beta-lactamase-producing imipenem-resistant strains tested but not in nine cfiA-positive strains with no detectable metallo-beta-lactamase activity.
采用从日本分离的脆弱拟杆菌菌株,通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)扩增检测到了cfiA基因,该基因编码由脆弱拟杆菌产生的一种水解亚胺培南的金属β-内酰胺酶以及插入样元件。在分别于1987年至1988年以及1992年至1994年收集的对亚胺培南敏感的脆弱拟杆菌分离株中,cfiA基因的检出率分别为1.9%和4.1%。在所检测的全部9株产金属β-内酰胺酶的亚胺培南耐药菌株中均发现了与cfiA基因相邻的插入样元件,但在9株未检测到金属β-内酰胺酶活性的cfiA阳性菌株中未发现。
