Resistance phenotypes conferred by macrolide phosphotransferases.

چکیده
This study aims to compare the resistance phenotypes conferred by various genes encoding enzymes that phosphorylate erythromycin. The mph genes were cloned into Escherichia coli AG100A susceptible to macrolides and ketolides following disruption of the AcrAB pump. An 882 bp sequence containing a premature stop codon, homologous to the three other previously described mph genes and present widely among Enterobacteriaceae, was found to confer resistance to erythromycin by phosphorylation. The mph(C) gene, as reported for mph(B), also conferred resistance to spiramycin. The mph(A) gene was unique in conferring resistance to azithromycin. The four investigated genes conferred resistance to telithromycin.

Macrolide resistance conferred by rRNA mutations in field isolates of Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida.
OBJECTIVES To determine how resistance to macrolides is conferred in field isolates of Pasteurella multocida and Mannheimia haemolytica that lack previously identified resistance determinants for rRNA methylation, efflux and macrolide-modifying enzymes. METHODS Isolates of P. multocida and M. haemolytica identified as being highly resistant (MICs >64 mg/L) to the macrolides erythromycin, gami...
متن کاملMolecular basis of intrinsic macrolide resistance in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
The intrinsic resistance of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) to most antibiotics, including macrolides, is generally attributed to the low permeability of the mycobacterial cell wall. However, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are much more sensitive to macrolides than members of the MTC. A search for macrolide resistance determinants within the genome of M. tuberculosis revealed th...
متن کاملPrevalence of erm Gene among Clinical Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus in Shahrekord, Iran
Background: Development of drug resistance to Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has led to the use of older antibiotics such as macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB) for the treatment of infections. MLSB resistance can be caused by several mechanisms, however, one of the predominant reasons is target modification mediated by erm gene...
متن کاملEmergence of macrolide resistance gene mph(B) in Streptococcus uberis and cooperative effects with rdmC-like gene.
Streptococcus uberis UCN60 was resistant to spiramycin (MIC = 8 microg/ml) but susceptible to erythromycin (MIC = 0.06 microg/ml), azithromycin (MIC = 0.12 microg/ml), josamycin (MIC = 0.25 microg/ml), and tylosin (MIC = 0.5 microg/ml). A 2.5-kb HindIII fragment was cloned from S. uberis UCN60 DNA on plasmid pUC18 and introduced into Escherichia coli AG100A, where it conferred resistance to spi...
متن کاملInducible Expression of both ermB and ermT Conferred High Macrolide Resistance in Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus Isolates in China
Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus is an under-recognized pathogen and zoonotic agent causing opportunistic infections in humans. Despite increasing recognition of this subspecies as a cause for human infectious diseases, limited information is known about its antibiotic resistance mechanism. In this study, we aim to identify the molecular mechanism underlying the high macrolide res...
