Over a period of 40 months, plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamases were detected in Tunis, Tunisia, in 78 isolates (0.59%) of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis. In 67 isolates, only one ampC gene was detected, i.e., blaCMY-2-type (n = 33), blaACC (n = 23), blaDHA (n = 6) or blaEBC (n = 5). Multiple ampC genes were detected in 11 isolates, with the following distribution: blaMOX-2, blaFOX-3, and blaCMY-4/16 (n = 6), blaFOX-3 and blaMOX-2 (n = 3), and blaCMY-4 and blaMOX-2 (n = 2). A great variety of plasmids carrying these genes was found, independently of the species and the bla gene. If the genetic context of blaCMY-2-type is variable, that of blaMOX-2, reported in part previously, is unique and that of blaFOX-3 is unique and new.
在40个月的时间里,在突尼斯突尼斯市从78株大肠杆菌、肺炎克雷伯菌和奇异变形杆菌中检测到质粒介导的AmpC β-内酰胺酶(占0.59%)。在67株菌株中,仅检测到一个ampC基因,即blaCMY-2型(n = 33)、blaACC(n = 23)、blaDHA(n = 6)或blaEBC(n = 5)。在11株菌株中检测到多个ampC基因,其分布如下:blaMOX-2、blaFOX-3和blaCMY-4/16(n = 6),blaFOX-3和blaMOX-2(n = 3),以及blaCMY-4和blaMOX-2(n = 2)。发现了携带这些基因的多种质粒,与物种和bla基因无关。如果blaCMY-2型的基因背景是可变的,那么之前部分报道的blaMOX-2的基因背景是独特的,而blaFOX-3的基因背景是独特且新颖的。
