A plasmid-specified, inducible, but cyclic adenylic acid (cAMP)-independent resistance to chloramphenicol (CM) is reported. The resistance level to CM was increased two- to fourfold by treatment with a small amount of CM for a short period in Escherichia coli strains carrying the R plasmid pJY1, which was obtained from a clinical isolate of Vibrio cholerae. Though cAMP was required for production of CM acetyltransferase (CATase) in cAMP-deficient mutants of E. coli carrying the R100 plasmid, the same species harboring pJY1 did not require cAMP for production of the enzyme. The possibility of a mechanism other than CATase activity for the CM resistance conferred by R plasmids is discussed.
据报道,存在一种由质粒指定的、可诱导的、但不依赖环腺苷酸(cAMP)的氯霉素(CM)抗性。在携带从霍乱弧菌临床分离株获得的R质粒pJY1的大肠杆菌菌株中,通过用少量CM短期处理,对CM的抗性水平提高了两到四倍。虽然在携带R100质粒的大肠杆菌cAMP缺陷型突变体中,产生CM乙酰转移酶(CATase)需要cAMP,但携带pJY1的同一菌株产生该酶不需要cAMP。讨论了R质粒赋予CM抗性的机制除CATase活性之外的其他可能性。
