Whole-genome sequencing of trimethoprim-resistant clinical isolates identified a member of the trimethoprim-resistant type II dihydrofolate reductase gene family (). The gene was located within a class I integron flanked by multiple resistance genes. This arrangement was previously reported in a 130.6-kb multiresistance plasmid. The DfrB4 protein conferred a >2,000-fold increased trimethoprim resistance on overexpression in Our results are consistent with the finding that contributes to clinical trimethoprim resistance.
对耐甲氧苄啶临床分离株进行全基因组测序,鉴定出一个耐甲氧苄啶的II型二氢叶酸还原酶基因家族成员()。该基因位于一个由多个耐药基因侧翼的I类整合子内。这种排列先前在一个130.6 kb的多耐药质粒中已有报道。在 中过表达时,DfrB4蛋白使甲氧苄啶耐药性增加了2000倍以上。我们的结果与 导致临床甲氧苄啶耐药性的发现一致。
