A new QepA4 variant was detected in an O86:H28 ST156-, showing a multidrug-resistance phenotype. PAβN inhibition of harboring transconjugant resulted in increase of nalidixic acid accumulation. The and genes were clustered in a 26.0-kp contig matching an IncF-type plasmid, and containing a Tn21-type transposon with multiple mobile genetic elements. This QepA variant is worrisome because these determinants might facilitate the selection of higher-level resistance mutants, playing a role in the development of resistance, and/or confer higher-level resistance to fluoroquinolones in association with chromosomal mutations.
在一株O86:H28 ST156菌株中检测到一种新的QepA4变体,呈现出多重耐药表型。携带转接合子的PAβN抑制导致萘啶酸积累增加。qepA和qnr基因聚集在一个26.0-kp的重叠群中,与IncF型质粒匹配,并包含一个带有多个移动遗传元件的Tn21型转座子。这种QepA变体令人担忧,因为这些决定因素可能有助于选择更高水平的耐药突变体,在耐药性发展中起作用,和/或与染色体突变相关,赋予对氟喹诺酮类药物更高水平的耐药性。
