Novel R-plasmid-mediated beta-lactamase from Klebsiella aerogenes.
A novel beta-lactamase with a broad spectrum of activity against penicillins and cephalosporins has been detected in a strain of Klebsiella aerogenes. Its synthesis is mediated by an R-plasmid of molecular weight 64 x 10(6).
متن کاملPlasmid-mediated carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamase KPC in a Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate from France.
Carbapenem-hydrolyzing -lactamases can be metallolactamases (7), expanded-spectrum oxacillinases (8), or Ambler class A enzymes (1, 2, 4, 6, 9–12). The class A KPC -lactamases hydrolyze all -lactams except for cephamycins and have been rarely reported in studies of enterobacterial species (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Salmonella enterica, Enterobacter sp.) found in New England and...
متن کاملPlasmid-mediated, carbapenem-hydrolysing beta-lactamase, KPC-2, in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates.
Four isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae obtained from patients at a Maryland medical centre exhibited reduced susceptibility to carbapenems and were found to produce the novel, class A, plasmid-mediated, carbapenem-hydrolysing enzyme, KPC-2. This enzyme has 99% identity with the plasmid-mediated, carbapenem-hydrolysing enzyme KPC-1, reported previously in a North Carolina K. pneumoniae isolate. ...
متن کاملNovel plasmid-mediated beta-lactamase from Escherichia coli that inactivates oxyimino-cephalosporins.
A highly cephem-resistant Escherichia coli strain, FP1546, isolated from the fecal flora of laboratory dogs previously administered beta-lactam antibiotics was found to produce a beta-lactamase, FEC-1, of 48-kilodalton size and pI 8.2. FEC-1 hydrolyzed cefuroxime, cefotaxime, cefmenoxime, and ceftriaxone, as well as the enzymatically less-stable antibiotics cephaloridine, cefotiam, and cefpiram...
متن کاملPlasmid-mediated beta-lactamase production in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Several beta-lactamase-producing, penicillin-resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were examined for R plasmids. Penicillin-resistant strains isolated from men returning from the Far East and their contacts contained a 4.4 x 10(6)-dalton plasmid in common. Transformation studies and the isolation of a spontaneous penicillin-susceptible segregant showed that the structural gene for beta-lac...
