The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic context of blaKPC-2 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa sequence type 244 from Brazil. The blaKPC-2 gene was detected in a new small plasmid, pBH6. Complete sequencing revealed that pBH6 was 3,652 bp long and included the Tn3 resolvase and Tn3 inverted repeat (IR), a partial copy of ISKpn6, and a putative ori region but no rep genes. pBH6 replicated stably into Escherichia coli strain DH10B and P. aeruginosa strain PAO.
本研究的目的是对来自巴西的244型铜绿假单胞菌中blaKPC-2的基因背景进行表征。在一个新的小质粒pBH6中检测到blaKPC-2基因。全序列测序显示,pBH6长3652 bp,包含Tn3解离酶和Tn3反向重复序列(IR)、ISKpn6的部分拷贝以及一个假定的ori区域,但没有复制基因。pBH6能在大肠杆菌DH10B菌株和铜绿假单胞菌PAO菌株中稳定复制。
