An erythromycin-, copper- and cadmium-resistant isolate of Enterococcus hirae from marine sediment was shown to harbor the plasmid pRE25 and to co-transfer erm(B) and tcrB to Enterococcus faecalis JH2-2. These data highlight the scope for antibiotic resistance selection by the marine environment through heavy metals and its possible involvement in antibiotic-resistant enterococcal infections.
从海洋沉积物中分离出的一株对红霉素、铜和镉具有抗性的海氏肠球菌被证明携带质粒pRE25,并能将erm(B)和tcrB共转移至粪肠球菌JH2-2。这些数据突出了海洋环境通过重金属进行抗生素抗性选择的范围及其可能参与耐抗生素肠球菌感染的情况。
