Inhibition of aminoglycoside 6'-N-acetyltransferase type Ib-mediated amikacin resistance by antisense oligodeoxynucleotides.
Amikacin has been very useful in the treatment of infections caused by multiresistant bacteria because it is refractory to the actions of most modifying enzymes. However, the spread of AAC(6')-I-type acetyltransferases, enzymes capable of catalyzing inactivation of amikacin, has rendered this antibiotic all but useless in some parts of the world. The aminoglycoside 6'-N-acetyltransferase type I...
متن کاملAminoglycoside resistance mediated by the bifunctional enzyme 6'-N-aminoglycoside acetyltransferase-2"-O-aminoglycoside phosphotransferase.
The expression of the bifunctional aminoglycoside inactivating enzyme 6'-N-aminoglycoside acetyltransferase-2"-O-aminoglycoside phosphotransferase is the most important mechanism of high-level aminoglycoside resistance in Staphylococcus and Enterococcus. The enzyme is unique because it presents two different aminoglycoside-modifying activities located in different regions of the molecule. The g...
متن کاملInhibition of aminoglycoside 6'-N-acetyltransferase type Ib-mediated amikacin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae by zinc and copper pyrithione.
The in vitro activity of the aminoglycoside 6'-N-acetyltransferase type Ib [AAC(6')-Ib] was inhibited by CuCl2 with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 2.8 μM. The growth of an amikacin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain isolated from a neonate with meningitis was inhibited when amikacin was supplemented by the addition of Zn(2+) or Cu(2+) in complex with the ionophore pyrithione. Coor...
متن کاملR factor-mediated aminoglycoside antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: a new aminoglycoside 6'-N-acetyltransferase.
The newly introduced semisynthetic aminoglycoside antibiotics, i.e., 3',4'-dideoxykanamycin B (DKB), 6'-N-methyl DKB (6'-Me-DKB) and amikacin (AK) have been found to be effective against gram-negative pathogens including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which are resistant to the known aminoglycoside antibiotics. We have demonstrated in our stock cultures two types of P. aeruginosa strains resistant to ...
متن کاملnovel 6'-n-aminoglycoside acetyltransferase AAC(6')-Iaj from a clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCGM1588 has a novel chromosomal class 1 integron, In151, which includes the aac(6')-Iaj gene. The encoded protein, AAC(6')-Iaj, was found to consist of 184 amino acids, with 70% identity to AAC(6')-Ia. Escherichia coli transformed with a plasmid containing the aac(6')-Iaj gene acquired resistance to all aminoglycosides tested except gentamicin. Of note, aac(6')-Iaj contr...
