Antibiotic resistance and R-plasmids in food chain Salmonella: evidence of plasmid relatedness.
A large number of strains (1,783) belonging to 15 Salmonella serovars isolated, in Canada, from the three major links of the human food chain were screened for multiple antibiotic resistance and the presence of R-plasmids. Multiresistant strains occurred among animal feed, livestock, and human isolates at frequencies of 4, 22, and 14%, respectively. Conjugation analysis revealed that 58% of the...
متن کاملPlasmid interference for curing antibiotic resistance plasmids in vivo
Antibiotic resistance increases the likelihood of death from infection by common pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in developed and developing countries alike. Most important modern antibiotic resistance genes spread between such species on self-transmissible (conjugative) plasmids. These plasmids are traditionally grouped on the basis of replicon incompatibility (Inc...
متن کاملSalmonella plasmids of the pre-antibiotic era.
In order to provide a profile of the plasmid gene pool in Salmonella prior to the clinical use of antibiotics, a molecular genetic analysis was made of plasmids in strains collected by E.D.G. Murray between 1917 and 1954. These pre-antibiotic era (PAE) salmonellae contain conjugative plasmids of the same incompatibility groups as contemporary enterobacterial plasmids. Upon analysis of total pla...
متن کاملPlasmid mediated antibiotic resistance
Enterobacteriaceae is a family of bacteria including Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae that are common colonizers of the gastrointestinal tract. Extended spectrum βlactamases (ESBL) are bacterial enzymes that degrade β-lactam antibiotics and thus make the bacteria resistant to β-lactam antibiotics. ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) is an increasing problem constituting a burden o...
متن کاملGenetic and physical map of plasmid NR1: comparison with other IncFII antibiotic resistance plasmids.
Plasmids are circular extrachromosomal genetic elements that are ubiquitous among the bacterial genera and are also found in some eucaryotic organisms (17, 39, 82, 95). Plasmids encode a number of specialized functions that are generally nonessential for their bacterial hosts. However, these plasmid-encoded functions provide their host cells with versatility and adaptability for growth and surv...
