Members of the family Enterobacteriaceae that elaborate aminoglycoside 3-5-acetyltransferase [AAC(3)-5] caused a nosocomial outbreak at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and have persisted. To see whether the gene for AAC(3)-5 was present in the community, stool cultures of newly admitted patients and ambulatory persons were examined with a specific gene probe. AAC(3)-5-positive strains were present in the intestinal flora examined.
能产生氨基糖苷3 - 5 -乙酰转移酶【AAC(3)-5】的肠杆菌科细菌在范德比尔特大学医学中心引发了一次院内感染暴发,并且这类细菌一直存在。为了解社区中是否存在AAC(3)-5基因,我们用一种特异性基因探针检测了新入院患者和门诊患者的粪便培养物。在所检测的肠道菌群中存在AAC(3)-5阳性菌株。
