Monitoring of plasmid-encoded, trimethoprim-resistant dihydrofolate reductase genes: detection of a new resistant enzyme.
Using-gene-specific radiolabeled probe DNAs, we analyzed 42 clinical bacterial isolates with high-level trimethoprim (Tp) resistance for the presence of a type I or a type II plasmid-specified dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene. Plasmid DNA from 17 strains harbored a type I DHFR, whereas 11 isolates contained plasmids that harbored a type II DHFR structural gene. The plasmid DNAs from five str...
متن کاملA new Salmonella typhimurium DNA host specificity.
The genetic properties of a new (hspS) host specificity of Salmonella typhimurium were investigated using bacteriophage L. Phage L is a better substrate for s-specific restriction than phage P22. Mutants deficient in s-restriction only were found at the same frequency as mutants deficient in both restriction and modification. Crosses between S. typhimurium Hfr and S. typhimurium For between Esc...
متن کاملCharacterization of a R plasmid-associated, trimethoprim-resistant dihydrofolate reductase and determination of the nucleotide sequence of the reductase gene.
The trimethoprim-resistant dihydrofolate reductase associated with the R plasmid R388 was isolated from strains that over-produce the enzyme. It was purified to apparent homogeneity by affinity chromatography and two consecutive gel filtration steps under native and denaturing conditions. The purified enzyme is composed of four identical subunits with molecular weights of 8300. A 1100 bp long D...
متن کاملThe amino acid sequence of the trimethoprim-resistant dihydrofolate reductase specified in Escherichia coli by R-plasmid R67.
The amino acid sequence of a trimethoprim-resistant dihydrofolate reductase (EC 1.5.1.3) specified by the R-plasmid R67 is described. The sequence was deduced from automatic and manual sequence analysis of the intact protein, the fragments produced by cyanogen bromide cleavage, and peptides derived from the largest cyanogen bromide fragment by digestion with trypsin, Staphylococcus aureus V8 pr...
متن کاملEnhanced host cell reactivation of damaged plasmid DNA in HeLa cells resistant to cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II).
Human HeLa cells resistant to cisplatin were established by stepwise selection. The selected cells showed a 15- to 20-fold cisplatin resistance (CPR) at the dose level resulting in 50% inhibition. These cells were cross-resistant to mitomycin C, melphalan, and ethyl methanesulfonate but not to Adriamycin, colchicine, or vinblastine. The expression of cisplatin-damaged plasmid DNA carrying the b...
