Azaserine resistance in Escherichia coli: chromosomal location of multiple genes.
Resistance to azaserine in Escherichia coli is the result of mutations in at least three different loci. All spontaneously arising azaserine-resistant mutants harbor a lesion in the aroP gene. However, a lesion in this gene is not solely responsible for resistance. All spontaneously arising intermediate-level azaserine-resistant mutants also harbor a lesion in a gene designated azaA, which lies...
متن کاملTransferable class C -lactamases in Escherichia coli strains isolated in Greek hospitals and characterization of two enzyme variants (LAT-3 and LAT-4) closely related to Citrobacter freundii AmpC -lactamase
Escherichia coli is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections. The most frequent mechanism of resistance to penicillins is the production of the common plasmidmediated TEM-1 -lactamase. Extended-spectrum lactamases of the TEM and SHV families, conferring resistance to newer -lactams such as oxyimino-cephalosporins, have also spread among E. coli clinical isolates. These enzymes are una...
متن کاملRole of the cephalosporinase gene in the resistance of the clinically isolated cephem-resistant Escherichia coli.
A small number of highly cephem-resistant strains was found in extensive susceptibility testing of clinical isolates of Escherichia coli to the new cephalosporin derivatives. The cephem-resistance of these clinical isolates appeared to be due to the increased cephalosporinase activities. To clarify the mechanism of the resistance, we cloned the cephalosporinase genes from two typical cephem-res...
متن کاملCefoxitin resistance mediated by loss of a porin in clinical strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli.
PURPOSE Porins are outer membrane protein (OMP) that form water filled channels that permit the diffusion of small hydrophilic solutes like beta-lactam antibiotics across the outer membrane. Two major porins that facilitate diffusion of antimicrobials have been described in Klebsiella spp. and Escherichia coli. The present study was carried out to examine the role of porins among Extended Spect...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of cefoxitin-resistant Escherichia coli from Canadian hospitals.
A study designed to gain baseline information on strains of Escherichia coli displaying resistance to cefoxitin in Canada is described. A total of 29,323 E. coli isolates were screened at 12 participating hospital sites as part of an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase surveillance initiative. A total of 411 clinically significant, nonrepeat isolates displaying reduced susceptibilities to the NCCL...
