The sequence of the DNA gyrase gyrA gene of Serratia marcescens ATCC 14756 was determined. An open reading frame of 2,640 nucleotides coding for a polypeptide with a calculated molecular mass of 97,460 was found, and its sequence complemented the sequence of an Escherichia coli gyrA temperature-sensitive mutation. Analysis of the PCR products of the quinolone resistance-determining regions of gyrA genes from six quinolone-resistant clinical isolates revealed a single amino acid substitution, Ser-83 to Arg or Asp-87 to Tyr, in all six mutants, suggesting that a mutational alteration in gyrA is a common mechanism of quinolone resistance in S. marcescens.
测定了粘质沙雷氏菌ATCC 14756的DNA促旋酶gyrA基因序列。发现一个2640个核苷酸的开放阅读框,编码一个计算分子量为97460的多肽,其序列补充了大肠杆菌gyrA温度敏感突变的序列。对来自六个喹诺酮耐药临床分离株的gyrA基因喹诺酮耐药决定区的PCR产物分析显示,所有六个突变体中均有一个氨基酸取代,即Ser-83突变为Arg或Asp-87突变为Tyr,这表明gyrA的突变改变是粘质沙雷氏菌喹诺酮耐药的常见机制。
