We characterized the genetic environment of in colistin-resistant strains isolated in Switzerland during 2014 to 2016 from humans ( = 3) and chicken meat ( = 6). Whole-genome and plasmid sequencing identified the gene integrated in IncX4 (of which, one strain carried the variant), IncI2, IncHI2, and novel IncK2 plasmids (overall, = 7), as well as in the bacterial chromosome ( = 2) in single or duplicate copies. Our study supports the easy mobilization of across diverse genetic locations.
我们对瑞士在 2014 年至 2016 年间从人类(n=3)和鸡肉(n=6)中分离出的粘菌素耐药 菌株的遗传环境进行了研究。全基因组和质粒测序确定了 基因整合在 IncX4 中(其中一个菌株携带 变体)、IncI2、IncHI2 和新型 IncK2 质粒(总共 n=7),以及细菌染色体(n=2)中的单个或重复拷贝。我们的研究支持了 在不同遗传位置之间的易移动性。
