To decipher the mechanisms and their associated genetic determinants responsible for β-lactam resistance in a Proteus mirabilis clinical isolate.
The entire genetic structure surrounding the β-lactam resistance genes was characterized by PCR, gene walking and DNA sequencing.
Genes encoding the carbapenemase NDM-1 and the ESBL VEB-6 were located in a 38.5 kb MDR structure, which itself was inserted into a new variant of the Proteus genomic island 1 (PGI1). This new PGI1-PmPEL variant of 64.4 kb was chromosomally located, as an external circular form in the P. mirabilis isolate, suggesting potential mobility.
This is the first known description of the bla(NDM-1) gene in a genomic island structure, which might further enhance the spread of the bla(NDM-1) carbapenemase gene among enteric pathogens.
解析导致奇异变形杆菌临床分离株产生β-内酰胺类耐药的机制及其相关遗传决定因素。
通过 PCR、基因步移和 DNA 测序对β-内酰胺类耐药基因周围的整个遗传结构进行了特征描述。
编码碳青霉烯酶 NDM-1 和 ESBL VEB-6 的基因位于一个 38.5 kb 的多药耐药结构中,该结构本身插入到一个新的奇异变形杆菌基因组岛 1(PGI1)变体中。这个 64.4 kb 的新型 PGI1-PmPEL 变体位于染色体上,以 P. mirabilis 分离株的外环形式存在,表明其具有潜在的可移动性。
这是首次在基因组岛结构中描述 bla(NDM-1) 基因,这可能进一步促进 bla(NDM-1)碳青霉烯酶基因在肠道病原体中的传播。
