To determine the beta-lactamase gene content of beta-lactam-susceptible psychrophilic gram-negative bacilli, Shewanella frigidimarina and Shewanella livingstonensis, isolated from a marine environment.
Beta-lactamase genes were cloned, sequenced and expressed in Escherichia coli. Kinetic parameters were determined using purified enzymes.
Metallo-beta-lactamases SLB-1 and SFB-1 were identified from S. livingstonensis and S. frigidimarina, respectively, sharing 65% amino acid identity and being distantly related to other Ambler class B beta-lactamases (40 and 36% amino acid identity with GIM-1 and IMP-1 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively). SLB-1 had an EDTA-inhibited and broad-spectrum beta-lactam hydrolysis profile, whereas SFB-1 did not hydrolyse cephalosporins, with activity being weakly inhibited by EDTA and dipicolinic acid.
This work provides further evidence that psychrophilic bacterial species may constitute a reservoir of beta-lactam resistance genes.
确定从海洋环境中分离出的对β-内酰胺敏感的嗜冷革兰氏阴性杆菌——嗜冷希瓦氏菌和利文斯顿希瓦氏菌的β-内酰胺酶基因含量。
将β-内酰胺酶基因进行克隆、测序并在大肠杆菌中表达。使用纯化的酶测定动力学参数。
分别从利文斯顿希瓦氏菌和嗜冷希瓦氏菌中鉴定出金属β-内酰胺酶SLB-1和SFB-1,它们的氨基酸同一性为65%,与其他安布勒B类β-内酰胺酶亲缘关系较远(分别与铜绿假单胞菌的GIM-1和IMP-1的氨基酸同一性为40%和36%)。SLB-1具有受EDTA抑制的广谱β-内酰胺水解谱,而SFB-1不水解头孢菌素,其活性受到EDTA和二吡啶甲酸的微弱抑制。
这项工作进一步证明嗜冷细菌物种可能构成β-内酰胺抗性基因的储存库。
