A Salmonella enterica serovar Hadar strain resistant to tigecycline (MIC, 16 microg/ml) was isolated. Molecular characterization revealed the presence of a plasmid-borne tet(A) variant associated with Tn1721 mediating a rise of the MIC for tigecycline when transferred to Escherichia coli. Additionally, a truncating mutation in ramR was detected. Transformation with wild-type ramR but not with the mutated ramR lowered the MIC for tigecycline. Characterization of this Salmonella isolate implicates ramR in resistance to tigecycline.
一株对替加环素(MIC,16μg/ml)耐药的肠炎沙门氏菌哈达尔(Salmonella enterica serovar Hadar)菌株被分离出来。分子特征分析显示存在一个与 Tn1721 相关的可移动质粒 tet(A)变体,该变体介导替加环素 MIC 升高,当转移到大肠杆菌时会出现这种情况。此外,还检测到 ramR 中的截断突变。用野生型 ramR 转化,但不用突变型 ramR 转化,会降低替加环素的 MIC。对这种沙门氏菌分离株的特征分析表明,ramR 与对替加环素的耐药性有关。
