Tn5706, a transposon-like element from Pasteurella multocida mediating tetracycline resistance.

چکیده
The 4,378-bp putative tetracycline resistance transposon Tn5706 of Pasteurella multocida consists of an internal tet(H)-tetR resistance gene region which is flanked by almost identical insertion elements, IS1596 and IS1597. Two reading frames for proteins of 70 and 228 amino acids were detected in each of these insertion sequence elements. The 228-amino-acid protein revealed homology to transposase proteins of gram-positive bacteria.

Diversity of tetracycline resistance genes in bacteria from Chilean salmon farms.
Twenty-five distinct tetracycline-resistant gram-negative bacteria recovered from four Chilean fish farms with no history of recent antibiotic use were examined for the presence of tetracycline resistance (tet) genes. Sixty percent of the isolates carried 1 of the 22 known tet genes examined. The distribution was as follows. The tet(A) gene was found in six isolates. The tet(B) gene was found i...
متن کاملNew plasmid-borne antibiotic resistance gene cluster in Pasteurella multocida.
A new antibiotic resistance gene cluster comprising genes for sulfonamide (sul2), streptomycin (strA-strB), and tetracycline [tetR-tet(H)] resistance was detected on plasmid pVM111 from Pasteurella multocida. The tetR-tet(H) gene region was inserted between sul2 and strA, possibly by illegitimate recombination. Two potential recombination sites of 18 and 25 bp were identified.
متن کاملA 5-year retrospective report of Gallibacterium anatis and Pasteurella multocida isolates from chickens in Mississippi.
A 5-yr retrospective study (November 2006-December 2011) was conducted to determine the isolation frequency of Pasteurella multocida and Gallibacterium anatis and their antibiograms from chickens submitted to the Mississippi Poultry Research and Diagnostic Laboratory. The number of isolations of G. anatis increased over the last 5 yr in broiler and broiler breeder type chickens. For P. multocid...
متن کاملICEPmu1, an integrative conjugative element (ICE) of Pasteurella multocida: analysis of the regions that comprise 12 antimicrobial resistance genes.
BACKGROUND In recent years, multiresistant Pasteurella multocida isolates from bovine respiratory tract infections have been identified. These isolates have exhibited resistance to most classes of antimicrobial agents commonly used in veterinary medicine, the genetic basis of which, however, is largely unknown. METHODS Genomic DNA of a representative P. multocida isolate was subjected to whol...
متن کاملIn vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Pasteurella haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida recovered from cattle with bovine respiratory disease complex.
The antimicrobial susceptibilities of 421 Pasteurella haemolytica and 158 P. multocida isolates recovered from cattle with respiratory disease were determined with a microdilution minimal inhibitory concentration test system. Isolates were analyzed for patterns of resistance to ampicillin, ceftiofur, erythromycin, gentamicin, penicillin, spectinomycin, sulfachlorpyridazine, sulfadimethoxine, te...
