linG, a new integron-associated gene cassette encoding a lincosamide nucleotidyltransferase.
Lincosamide antibiotics include lincomycin, a compound produced by several actinomycetes, and its semisynthetic chlorinated derivative clindamycin. These antibiotics block the peptidyltransferase activity of the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis, and are active against most grampositive cocci and anaerobes. However, they are not generally effective against gram...
متن کاملNew integron-associated gene cassette encoding a 3-N-aminoglycoside acetyltransferase.
A fifth gene cassette containing an aacC gene, aacCA5, was found in an aacCA5-aadA7 cassette array in a class 1 integron isolated from a multiply drug resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky strain. The AacC-A5 or AAC(3)-Ie acetyltransferase encoded by aacCA5 is related to other AAC(3)-I enzymes and confers resistance to gentamicin.
متن کاملNew integron-associated gene cassette encoding a trimethoprim-resistant DfrB-type dihydrofolate reductase.
A sixth gene cassette containing a dfrB-type gene, dfrB6, was found in a dfrB6-aadA1 cassette array in class 1 integrons. This array was isolated from several multiply antibiotic-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis strains that appear to be clonally related. The DfrB6 dihydrofolate reductase conferred resistance to trimethoprim.
متن کاملfosI Is a New Integron-Associated Gene Cassette Encoding Reduced Susceptibility to Fosfomycin.
In this work, we demonstrate that the fosI gene encodes a predicted small protein with 134 amino acids and determines reduced susceptibility to fosfomycin. It raised the MIC from 0.125 to 6 μg/ml when the pBRA100 plasmid was introduced into Escherichia coli TOP10 and to 16 μg/ml when the gene was cloned into the pBC_SK(-) vector and expressed in E. coli TOP10.
متن کاملThe ORF1 gene located on the class-1-integron-associated gene cassette actually represents a novel fosfomycin resistance determinant.
The class 1 integrons are genetic elements capable of integrating gene cassettes by a site-specific recombination mechanism (1). Gene cassettes are mobile units composed of a gene, most often an antibiotic resistance gene, and a recombination site, the 59-base element (1). We have previously characterized a class 1 integron containing a VIM-2-type metallo-lactamase gene, blaVIM-2, an aacA4 gene...
