A Proteus mirabilis clinical strain (7001324) was isolated from urine sample of a patient hospitalized in a long-term-care facility. PCR and cloning experiments performed with this strain identified a novel TEM-type β-lactamase (TEM-187) differing by four amino acid substitutions (Leu21Phe, Arg164His, Ala184Val, and Thr265Met) from TEM-1. This characterization provides further evidence for the diversity of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) produced by P. mirabilis and for their potential spread to other Enterobacteriaceae due to a lack of sensitive detection methods used in daily practice.
一株奇异变形杆菌临床分离株(7001324)从长期护理机构住院患者的尿液样本中分离得到。对该分离株进行的 PCR 和克隆实验鉴定出一种新型 TEM 型β-内酰胺酶(TEM-187),与 TEM-1 相比,该酶有 4 个氨基酸取代(Leu21Phe、Arg164His、Ala184Val 和 Thr265Met)。这一特征进一步证明了奇异变形杆菌产生的超广谱β-内酰胺酶(ESBL)的多样性,以及由于日常实践中缺乏敏感的检测方法,它们有可能传播到其他肠杆菌科。
