Transduction of rifampin resistance in group A streptococci.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rifampin-resistant strains of group A streptococci were isolated as spontaneous mutants. Transduction analyses employing phage A25 showed the rifampin marker to be transferred with high frequency. The mutations conferring resistance to rifampin and streptomycin are not co-transducible.

Inhibition of transformation in group H streptococci by lysogeny.
Group H streptococcal strains Challis and WE4 were lysogenized with a bacteriophage isolated from strain Channon, after which their capacity for transformation to streptomycin and rifampin resistance was reduced by three orders of magnitude. The probable reason is the inability of the lysogenized strains to bind deoxyribonucleic acid irreversibly, even though they exhibit earlier stages of comp...
متن کاملThe prevalence of emm types and Resistance to Erythromycin Pattern among group A Streptococci isolated from the throat in north of Iran
Abstract Background and objectives: Group A Streptococcus (GAS) strains have been identified by serologic methods based on surface protein antigens, T and M. Accordingly, different serotypes have been reported worldwide. Recently, the previous out of date procedures have been replaced by N-terminal emm gene sequence, which has been used in identifying more than 150 emm types. We aimed to determ...
متن کاملIntergroup lysis and transduction by streptococcal bacteriophages.
Bacteriophages from streptococci of groups A, E, and G lysed streptococci distributed among serogroups A, C, G, H, and L; propagated in some, but not all, of these; and transduced streptomycin resistance within group A or (by A phages only) from group A to group G streptococci.
متن کاملIntergroup Phage Reactions and Transduction between Group C and Group a Streptococci
In a study of intergroup reactions, four virulent Group A streptococcal phages were found to form plaques in high titer on lawns prepared from a number of Group C streptococcal strains. Whether the phages were propagated on the homologous (Group A) strain or a heterologous (Group C) strain did not appear to influence consistently the plaque-forming efficiency on lawns prepared from a homologous...
متن کاملAntibiotic sensitivities of Streptococcus pneumoniae, viridans streptococci, and group A hemolytic streptococci isolated from the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses.
OBJECTIVES To investigate antibiotic sensitivities of Streptococcus pneumoniae, viridans streptococci, and group A hemolytic streptococci isolated from the culture materials obtained from the sinuses of patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery due to chronic sinusitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We recruited 93 patients (63 males, 30 females; mean age 36+/-17.5; range 19 to 68 years)...
