Four clinical isolates bearing gene-harboring plasmids were characterized. All isolates demonstrated the ability to transfer colistin resistance to ; plasmids were stable in conjugants after multiple passages on nonselective media. was located on an IncX4 ( = 3) or IncN ( = 1) plasmid. The IncN plasmid harbored 13 additional antimicrobial resistance genes. Results indicate that the -bearing plasmids in this study were highly transferable and stable in the recipients.
四个携带基因的临床分离株被鉴定。所有分离株均表现出将多粘菌素耐药性转移至的能力;质粒在非选择性培养基上多次传代后在接合子中稳定。位于 IncX4(=3)或 IncN(=1)质粒上。IncN 质粒还携带 13 个额外的抗生素耐药基因。结果表明,本研究中携带的质粒具有高度的可转移性和在受体中的稳定性。
