Mobilization of the incQ plasmid R300B with a chromosomal conjugation system in Salmonella enterica serovar typhi.

چکیده
Salmonella pathogenicity island 7 (SPI-7) in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi appears to be related to other genomic islands. Evidence suggests that SPI-7 is susceptible to spontaneous circularization, loss, and transposition. Here, we demonstrate that a region within SPI-7 has the ability to mobilize the small incQ plasmid R300B.

Mechanisms of strand replacement synthesis for plasmid DNA transferred by conjugation.
A single strand of plasmid DNA is transferred during conjugation. We examined the mechanism of complementary strand synthesis in recipient cells following conjugative mobilization of derivatives of the IncQ plasmid R1162. A system for electroporation of donor cells, followed by immediate mating, was used to eliminate plasmid-specific replicative functions. Under these conditions, Escherichia co...
متن کاملImmunoprotectivity of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis virulence protein, InvH, against Salmonella typhi
Objective(s):Typhoid fever is a dreadful disease of a major threat to public health in developing countries. Vaccination with bacterial immunodominant components such as surface proteins may prove as a potent alternative to live attenuated vaccines. InvH, an important part of needle complex in type three secretion system (TTSS) plays important role in efficient bacterial adherence and entry int...
متن کاملAnalysis of plasmid and chromosomal DNA of multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar typhi from Asia.
Molecular analysis of chromosomal DNA from 193 multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi isolates from 1990 to 1995 from Pakistan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Bangladesh, and India produced a total of five major different pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns. Even within a particular country MDR S. enterica serovar Typhi DNA was found to be in different PFGE groups. Similar ...
متن کاملPlasmid-mediated resistance to cephalosporins in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi.
This study characterized a cephalosporin-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi isolate. The organism possessed a plasmid encoding the CTX-M-15 extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase. This plasmid is the determinant for the phenotype of cephalosporin resistance and is transferrable among Enterobacteriaceae.
متن کاملAntimicrobial Resistance, Virulence Profiles and Molecular Subtypes of Salmonella enterica Serovars Typhi and Paratyphi A Blood Isolates from Kolkata, India during 2009-2013
Enteric fever, caused by Salmonella enterica, remains an unresolved public health problem in India and antimicrobial therapy is the main mode of treatment. The objective of this study was to characterize the Salmonella enterica isolates from Kolkata with respect to their antimicrobial resistance (AMR), virulence profiles and molecular subtypes. Salmonella enterica blood isolates were collected ...
