Enterococcus faecalis SF4855 is a beta-lactamase-producing isolate resistant to high levels of gentamicin, with determinants for these resistances on the chromosome. SF4855 transferred both determinants into E. faecalis FA2-2 and UV202 at a frequency of 10(-9) in the presence of the MLS plasmid pYN120. beta-Lactamase and gentamicin resistance probes hybridized to three locations on the chromosome of FA2-2 transconjugants on contour-clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis. The study results suggest mobilization of the beta-lactamase determinant.
粪肠球菌SF4855是一株产β-内酰胺酶的菌株,对高水平庆大霉素耐药,其耐药决定簇位于染色体上。在存在MLS质粒pYN120的情况下,SF4855以10^(-9)的频率将这两个耐药决定簇转移至粪肠球菌FA2-2和UV202中。β-内酰胺酶和庆大霉素耐药探针在轮廓夹钳均匀电场电泳中与FA2-2转接合子染色体上的三个位置杂交。研究结果提示β-内酰胺酶决定簇发生了转移。
