Many transferable quinolone resistance mechanisms have been identified in Gram-negative bacteria. The plasmid-encoded 65-amino-acid-long ciprofloxacin-modifying enzyme CrpP was recently identified in isolates. We analyzed a collection of 100 clonally unrelated and multidrug-resistant clinical isolates, among which 46 were positive for -like genes, encoding five CrpP variants conferring variable levels of reduced susceptibility to fluoroquinolones. These -like genes were chromosomally located as part of pathogenicity genomic islands.
在革兰氏阴性菌中已鉴定出许多可转移的喹诺酮耐药机制。最近在分离株中鉴定出了质粒编码的65个氨基酸长的环丙沙星修饰酶CrpP。我们分析了100株克隆无关且耐多药的临床分离株,其中46株的类基因呈阳性,这些类基因编码五种CrpP变体,对氟喹诺酮类药物的敏感性降低程度各不相同。这些类基因位于染色体上,是致病性基因组岛的一部分。
