Multiple-antibiotic resistance mediated by structurally related IncL/M plasmids carrying an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase gene and a class 1 integron.

چکیده
A conjugative IncL/M plasmid (pSEM) conferring resistance to gentamicin, amikacin, kanamycin, sulfonamides, and expanded-spectrum cephalosporins was found in pathogenic strains of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium. Resistance to aminoglycosides was encoded by a sul1-type class 1 integron (In-t3). An extended-spectrum beta-lactamase gene, bla(SHV-5), was identified 3. 5 kb downstream of the integrase (intI1) gene of In-t3. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 5.3-kb bla(SHV-5)-In-t3 region of pSEM highlighted striking similarities with IncL/M plasmids isolated from nosocomial gram-negative pathogens, conferring resistance to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins and aminoglycosides.

Background: Extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs) are an important cause of transferable multidrug resistance (MDR) in gram-negative bacteria. The most described ESBL genes are generally found within integron-like structures as mobile genetic elements. The aim of this study was to identify the accompanying of class 1 integrons and ESBLs in the MDR E. coli isolates. Methods: Susceptibility t...
