Mutational analysis of quinolone resistance in the plasmid-encoded pentapeptide repeat proteins QnrA, QnrB and QnrS.
OBJECTIVES Pentapeptide repeat proteins (PRPs) QnrA, QnrB and QnrS confer reduced susceptibility to quinolones. This study presents an in vitro analysis of the genetic evolution of quinolone resistance mediated by changes in the coding sequences and promoter regions of qnrA1, qnrS1 and qnrB1 genes. METHODS A random mutagenesis technique was used to predict the evolutionary potential of these ...
متن کاملExploring antibiotic resistance genes and metal resistance genes in plasmid metagenomes from wastewater treatment plants
Plasmids operate as independent genetic elements in microorganism communities. Through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), they can provide their host microorganisms with important functions such as antibiotic resistance and heavy metal resistance. In this study, six metagenomic libraries were constructed with plasmid DNA extracted from influent, activated sludge (AS) and digested sludge (DS) of tw...
متن کاملبررسی فنوتیپی و ژنوتیپی مقاومت به آنتی‌بیوتیک‌های کینولون در ایزوله‌های بالینی اشریشیاکلی جدا شده از عفونت ادراری افراد بستری در بیمارستان های شهر تهران در سال 1396
Background & Aim: Antibiotic resistance to quinolones as a therapeutic agent of urinary tract infection in increasing in the world. Thus, this study was designed to evaluate the resistance to quinolone antibiotics in Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infection of hospitalized patients in Tehran, Iran in 2017. Methods: In the present study, 150 E. coli isolates was collected from uri...
متن کاملInvestigating the prevalence of resistance genes in Listeria monocytogenes isolated from food and clinical samples
Background: Listeriosis can be fatal for vulnerable groups of society. The disease has been widespread in recent years due to the large consumption of dairy and meat products. There is little information about the susceptibility of antibiotics and the pattern of Listeria monostigenesis gene resistance in Iranian society. Accordingly, the present study was conducted to investigate the antibiotic...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Escherichia coli Isolates from Hospital Wastewater in Vietnam
The environmental spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has been recognised as a growing public health threat for which hospitals play a significant role. The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in Escherichia coli isolates from hospital wastewater in Vietnam. Wastewater samples before and after treatment were c...
