Draft Genome Sequences of Two Streptococcus pneumoniae Serotype 19A Sequence Type 226 Clinical Isolates from Hungary, Hu17 with High-Level Beta-Lactam Resistance and Hu15 of a Penicillin-Sensitive Phenotype
نویسندگان
چکیده
The draft genome sequences of two multiple-antibiotic-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from Hungary, Hu15 and Hu17, are reported here. Strain Hu15 is penicillin susceptible, whereas Hu17 is a high-level-penicillin-resistant strain. Both isolates belong to the serotype 19A sequence type 226, a single-locus variant (in the ddl locus) of the Hungary19A-6 clone.

The Streptococcus pneumoniae clone Hungary19A-6 expresses unusually high levels of β-lactam resistance, which is in part due to mutations in the MurM gene, encoding a transferase involved in the synthesis of branched peptidoglycan. Moreover, it contains the allele ciaH232, encoding the histidine kinase CiaH (M. Müller, P. Marx, R. Hakenbeck, and R. Brückner, Microbiology 157:3104-3112, 2011, ht...
متن کاملNasopharyngeal carriage, antibiotic resistance and serotype distribution of Streptococcus
Abstract Background and objectives: Colonization of nasopharynx by Streptococcus Pneumoniae can lead to pneumococcal disease. This study was performed to determine the carriage rate of nasopharyngeal S.pneumoniae in adolescents and their antibiotic susceptibility and serotype prevalence in Zahedan, Iran Material and Methods: Nasopharyngeal specimens were obtained from 865 adolescents aged 10-19...
متن کاملHeteroresistance to penicillin in Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Heteroresistance to beta-lactam antibiotics has been mainly described for staphylococci, for which it complicates diagnostic procedures and therapeutic success. This study investigated whether heteroresistance to penicillin exists in Streptococcus pneumoniae. Population analysis profile (PAP) showed the presence of subpopulations with higher penicillin resistance in four of nine clinical pneumo...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Two Streptococcus pneumoniae Serotype 19F Sequence Type 271 Clinical Isolates with Low- and High-Level Cefotaxime Resistance
We report here the draft genomes of two pneumococcal isolates in Hong Kong, CU_SPNE1_05 and CU_SPNE32_06. Strain CU_SPNE1_05 had a cefotaxime MIC of 1 µg/ml, and CU_SPNE32_06 had an MIC of 32 µg/ml. Both strains belong to the multidrug-resistant serogroup 19, sequence type 271 (clonal complex 3200/271).
متن کاملIdentical penicillin-binding domains in penicillin-binding proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae clinical isolates with different levels of beta-lactam resistance.
We have sequenced the penicillin-binding domains of the complete repertoire of penicillin-binding proteins and MurM from 22 clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae that span a wide range of beta-lactam resistance levels. Evidence of mosaicism was found in the genes encoding PBP 1a, PBP 2b, PBP 2x, MurM, and, possibly, PBP 2a. Five isolates were found to have identical PBP and MurM sequenc...
