Achromobacter xylosoxidans is an innately multidrug-resistant pathogen which is emerging in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. We characterized a new resistance-nodulation-cell division (RND)-type multidrug efflux pump, AxyXY-OprZ. This system is responsible for the intrinsic high-level resistance of A. xylosoxidans to aminoglycosides (tobramycin, amikacin, and gentamicin). Furthermore, it can extrude cefepime, carbapenems, some fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, and erythromycin. Some of the AxyXY-OprZ substrates are major components widely used to treat pulmonary infections in CF patients.
木糖氧化无色杆菌是一种固有多重耐药病原体,在囊性纤维化(CF)患者中逐渐出现。我们对一种新型的耐药性结节性分裂(RND)型多药外排泵 AxyXY-OprZ 进行了特征描述。该系统负责木糖氧化无色杆菌对氨基糖苷类(妥布霉素、阿米卡星和庆大霉素)的固有高水平耐药性。此外,它还可以外排头孢吡肟、碳青霉烯类、一些氟喹诺酮类、四环素类和红霉素。AxyXY-OprZ 的一些底物是治疗 CF 患者肺部感染的主要广泛使用的成分。
