We have isolated and characterized mutants of Borrelia burgdorferi that are resistant to the antibiotic coumermycin A1, which targets the B subunit of DNA gyrase. Mutants had either 100- or 300-fold higher resistance to coumermycin A1 than wild-type B. burgdorferi. In each case, a single point mutation in the gyrB gene converted Arg-133 to Gly or Ile. Mutations in the homologous Arg residue of Escherichia coli DNA gyrase are also associated with resistance to coumarin antimicrobial agents.
我们已经分离并鉴定出了对靶向DNA促旋酶B亚基的抗生素香豆霉素A1具有抗性的伯氏疏螺旋体突变体。与野生型伯氏疏螺旋体相比,突变体对香豆霉素A1的抗性高出100倍或300倍。在每种情况下,gyrB基因中的单个点突变都会将Arg-133转换为Gly或Ile。大肠杆菌DNA促旋酶同源Arg残基的突变也与对香豆素类抗菌剂的抗性有关。
