Physical characterization of Bacteroides fragilis R plasmid pBF4.
Bacteroides fragilis V479-1 has previously been shown to harbor a self-transmissible 27 X 10(6)-dalton plasmid (pBF4) which confers lincosamide-macrolide resistance. The present study has focused on the physical properties of pBF4. The plasmid was found to be present in 1 to 2 copies per chromosomal equivalent. pBF4 was genetically stable, although spontaneously occurring plasmidless segregants...
متن کاملR-plasmid mediated transfer of beta-lactam resistance in Bacteroides fragilis.
We described plasmid mediated transfer of resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics between Bacteroides fragilis strains. Ampicillin-resistance was transferred from B. fragilis strain GAI-10150 to a B. fragilis strain JC-101 with a frequency of 10(-6)/input donor by a filter mating technique. A common plasmid band, named pBFKW1, was found in both the donor and the transconjugants. The plasmid was p...
متن کاملCharacterization of cephalosporinases from Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and Bacteroides vulgatus.
The susceptibility of 80 Bacteroides fragilis group strains isolated from clinical specimens to beta-lactam antibiotics was investigated by agar dilution method. Twenty strains showed high resistance to the antibiotics. The resistance level of the isolates to cephaloridine was related to the amount of beta-lactamase activity (cephalosporinase; CSase) produced. B. fragilis GN-11477, B. thetaiota...
متن کاملNutritional features of Bacteroides fragilis subsp. fragilis.
Studies of three reference strains of Bacteroides fragilis subsp. fragilis showed that they grow well in a minimal defined medium containing glucose, hemin, vitamin B(12), minerals, bicarbonate-carbon dioxide buffer, NH(4)Cl, and sulfide. The vitamin B(12) requirement of 0.1 ng/ml was replaced with 7.5 mug of methionine. Cysteine or sulfide was an excellent source of sulfur, thioglycolate was a...
متن کاملBacteroides fragilis meningitis.
A fatal case of pyogenic meningitis due to Bacteroides fragilis in a 6-year-old boy is reported. The need for processing cerebrospinal fluid of patients with underlying conditions such as chronic otitis media for recovery of both aerobes and anaerobes is discussed.
