linG, a new integron-associated gene cassette encoding a lincosamide nucleotidyltransferase.

چکیده
Lincosamide antibiotics include lincomycin, a compound produced by several actinomycetes, and its semisynthetic chlorinated derivative clindamycin. These antibiotics block the peptidyltransferase activity of the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis, and are active against most grampositive cocci and anaerobes. However, they are not generally effective against gram-negative bacilli due to intrinsic resistance.

Integrase-Mediated Recombination of the veb1 Gene Cassette Encoding an Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase
The veb1 gene cassette encodes the extended spectrum β-lactamase, VEB-1 that is increasingly isolated from worldwide Gram-negative rods. Veb1 is commonly inserted into the variable region of different class 1 integrons in which it is always associated with a downstream-located aadB gene cassette encoding an aminoglycoside adenylyltransferase. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the majority of veb1-cont...
متن کاملNew integron-associated gene cassette encoding a 3-N-aminoglycoside acetyltransferase.
A fifth gene cassette containing an aacC gene, aacCA5, was found in an aacCA5-aadA7 cassette array in a class 1 integron isolated from a multiply drug resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky strain. The AacC-A5 or AAC(3)-Ie acetyltransferase encoded by aacCA5 is related to other AAC(3)-I enzymes and confers resistance to gentamicin.
متن کاملMobile gene cassettes and integrons: capture and spread of genes by site-specific recombination.
An integron is a genetic unit that includes the determinants of the components of a site-specific recombination system capable of capturing and mobilizing genes that are contained in mobile elements called gene cassettes. An integron also provides a promoter for expression of the cassette genes, and integrons thus act both as natural cloning systems and as expression vectors. The essential comp...
متن کاملNew integron-associated gene cassette encoding a trimethoprim-resistant DfrB-type dihydrofolate reductase.
A sixth gene cassette containing a dfrB-type gene, dfrB6, was found in a dfrB6-aadA1 cassette array in class 1 integrons. This array was isolated from several multiply antibiotic-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis strains that appear to be clonally related. The DfrB6 dihydrofolate reductase conferred resistance to trimethoprim.
متن کاملNovel streptomycin and spectinomycin resistance gene as a gene cassette within a class 1 integron isolated from Escherichia coli.
The aadA genes, encoding resistance to streptomycin and spectinomycin, have been found as gene cassettes in different gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial species. The present study has revealed the sequence of a new gene, aadA5, integrated as a gene cassette together with the trimethoprim resistance gene dfr7 in a class 1 integron. The integron was located on a plasmid and was identified ...
