A novel VIM-type metallo-β-lactamase variant, VIM-71, which is encoded by a multidrug-resistant Vibrio alginolyticus strain recovered from a shrimp sample in China, was identified. Compared to VIM-1, VIM-71 differs in 22 amino acid positions based on the primary protein sequence and confers a similar resistance profile to penicillins, but the level of resistance to carbapenems encoded by this enzyme was lower than that of VIM-1. The bla gene was found located in an integrative and conjugative element of the SXT/R391 family in the chromosome. These findings implied that genetic elements that encode clinically important carbapenemases continue to evolve in Vibrio spp.
从中国的虾样本中分离出一株耐多药的 Alg 溶藻弧菌，鉴定出一种新型 VIM 型金属β-内酰胺酶变体 VIM-71。与 VIM-1 相比，VIM-71 在一级蛋白序列上有 22 个氨基酸位置不同，对青霉素的耐药谱相似，但该酶编码的碳青霉烯类药物的耐药水平低于 VIM-1。bla 基因位于染色体 SXT/R391 家族的整合和可转移元件中。这些发现表明，编码临床重要碳青霉烯酶的遗传元件在弧菌属中仍在不断进化。
