Transposon Encoding Fosfomycin Resistance
The determinant of resistance to fosfomycin of the Serratia marcescens plasmid pOU900 was transposed into the plasmid ColEl and into the plasmid RP4 in the absence of the RecA function of the host. In each case, the acquisition of fosfomycin resistance was correlated with the presence of a discrete piece of DNA, uniform in size and in restriction pattern. This new, 7.5-megadalton transposable e...
متن کاملIntegrons and the Origin of Antibiotic Resistance Gene Cassettes
I ntegrons, which are natural genetic engineering platforms, can incorporate open reading frames and convert them to functional genes by ensuring correct expression. Although such integrons play a major role in multidrug resistance phenomena among gram-negative species, similar platforms occur in numerous bacterial species, where they can play other roles. Meanwhile, we have evidence suggesting...
متن کاملGene cassettes and cassette arrays in mobile resistance integrons.
Gene cassettes are small mobile elements, consisting of little more than a single gene and recombination site, which are captured by larger elements called integrons. Several cassettes may be inserted into the same integron forming a tandem array. The discovery of integrons in the chromosome of many species has led to the identification of thousands of gene cassettes, mostly of unknown function...
متن کاملImportation of Fosfomycin Resistance fosA3 Gene to Europe
The attack rate among these soldiers was 53.3% (8/15): 7 P. vivax infections and 1 co-infection with P. vivax and P. falciparum. Mosquitoes were collected 3 months later by using human landing catches during 5 consecutive days. The area had been free of illegal gold mining activities since the 15 soldiers were deployed. A total of 321 Anopheles mosquitoes were collected in this location; 95.6% ...
متن کاملFunctional gene cassettes in development.
It has been noted in recent years that groups ofgenes are often used at multiple stages and multiple places of development. Comparison of the functions of each group of genes in different developmental context gave rise to the notion of "functional gene cassettes." These groups of genes can often be viewed as sets of tools; each group is suited to carry out a certain operation and may serve sim...
