Novel Conjugative Transferable Multiple Drug Resistance Plasmid pAQU1 from Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae Isolated from Marine Aquaculture Environment
The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria is a severe problem in aquaculture. The ability of drug resistance genes to transfer from a bacterial cell to another is thought to be responsible for the wide dissemination of these genes in the aquaculture environment; however, little is known about the gene transfer mechanisms in marine bacteria. In this study, we show that a tetracycline-resistant st...
متن کاملPlasmid coding for transferable drug resistance in bacteria isolated from cultured rainbow trout.
The occurrence of drug resistance and plasmid-mediated transferability was investigated in 170 strains belonging to eight bacterial groups isolated from cultured rainbow trout. It was found that 87.6% of the strains were resistant to at least one drug, with the highest percentages of resistance being detected for ampicillin (54.7%), sulfadiazine (46.5%), nitrofurantoin (38.2%), and chlorampheni...
متن کاملTransferable drug resistance in enterobacteria isolated from urban infants.
Antibiotic-resistant enterobacteria, the vast majority of which carried transmissible R factors, were isolated from 81 out of a total of 100 healthy infants. There was surprisingly little correlation between previous antibacterial therapy and the resistant enterobacterial flora.
متن کاملVarious pAQU plasmids possibly contribute to disseminate tetracycline resistance gene tet(M) among marine bacterial community
Emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the aquaculture environment is a significant problem for disease control of cultured fish as well as in human public health. Conjugative mobile genetic elements (MGEs) are involved in dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) among marine bacteria. In the present study, we first designed a PCR targeting traI gene encoding essential relaxas...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance conferred by conjugative plasmid in Escherichia coli isolated from community ponds of Kathmandu Valley.
Bacteria can develop a variety of cellular mechanisms for acquiring resistance against antibiotics, including genetic mechanisms. Both commensal and pathogenic bacteria become resistant to every new antibiotic within few years of introduction. In recent years, antibioticresistant bacteria are being widely spread in nature. This can be due to the irrational use of sub-lethal concentrations of an...
