Characterization of a Haemophilus ducreyi mobilizing plasmid.
The OriV site of Haemophilus ducreyi mobilizing plasmid pHD147, determined by replication in Escherichia coli polA, is located close to the OriT site. The OriT site, located by recombination-proficient and -deficient cells, and the OriV site map in a region of pHD147 homologous to the beta-lactamase-specifying plasmids of H. ducreyi and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
متن کاملPlasmid-mediated ampicillin resistance in Haemophilus ducreyi.
Three of 19 strains of Haemophilus ducreyi, isolated during a recent outbreak of chancroid, were found to produce beta-lactamase and to harbor a 6.0 x 10(6)-dalton plasmid. Escherichia coli transformed with this plasmid acquired beta-lactamase-mediated resistance to ampicillin. The guanine-plus-cytosine content of the plasmid was found to be 41 mol%. Restriction endonuclease digestion studies s...
متن کاملPlasmid-mediated aminoglycoside phosphotransferases in Haemophilus ducreyi.
Three clinical isolates of Haemophilus ducreyi, representing at least two subtypes, were shown to be resistant to streptomycin and kanamycin. They also produced a beta-lactamase and chloramphenicol acetyltransferase and were resistant to tetracycline. In the three strains the resistance to both aminoglycoside antibiotics was encoded by a plasmid of ca. 4.7 kilobases which apparently did not car...
متن کاملPlasmid-mediated tetracycline resistance in Haemophilus ducreyi.
Clinical isolates of Haemophilus ducreyi were shown to be resistant to tetracycline. Resistance was associated in some strains with a 30-megadalton plasmid capable of transferring resistance in conjugative matings with other strains of H. ducreyi and other species of Haemophilus. Restriction endonuclease digestion patterns suggest a relationship between H. ducreyi plasmids and other tetracyclin...
متن کاملCharacterization of ampicillin resistance plasmids of Haemophilus ducreyi and Neisseria gonorrhoeae with regard to location of origin of transfer and mobilization by a conjugative plasmid of Haemophilus ducreyi.
Restriction endonuclease maps of the ampicillin resistance plasmids of Haemophilus ducreyi and Neisseria gonorrhoeae show marked structural similarities. Transfer frequencies obtained by mobilization correlated with physical structure and were enhanced by increased homology with the conjugative plasmid. The origin of transfer of each plasmid was located within a specific restriction fragment.
