The clinical isolate Pseudomonas aeruginosa MMA83 carries two copies of the blaNDM-1 gene in a novel genetic context.

چکیده
The genetic context of the blaNDM-1 gene in the genome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa MMA83 was investigated. Sequencing of the cosmid selected for the blaNDM-1 gene revealed the presence of two blaNDM-1 copies in the genome of P. aeruginosa MMA83 in a unique genetic environment. Additionally, mating assays, DNA-DNA hybridization, and an S1 nuclease assay strongly suggest that the blaNDM-1 gene in P. aeruginosa MMA83 is chromosome borne.

Molecular characterization of blaNDM-1 in a sequence type 235 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate from France.
An NDM-1 carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate was recovered from a patient hospitalized in France after a previous hospitalization in Serbia. Genetic studies revealed that the blaNDM-1 gene was surrounded by insertion sequence ISAba125 and a truncated bleomycin resistance gene. This blaNDM-1 region was a part of the variable region of a new complex class 1 integron bearing IS ...
متن کاملEmergence of NDM-1 metallo-β-lactamase in Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates from Serbia.
This work reports, for the first time, the presence of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Moreover, this is the first report of the NDM-1 presence in the Balkan region. Cosmid gene libraries of carbapenem-nonsusceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates MMA83 and MMA533 were screened for the presence of metallo-β-lactamases. Accordingly, both MMA83 and MMA...
متن کاملفراوانی اینتگرون‌های کلاس I و II در ایزوله‌های بالینی سودوموناس آئروژینوزا مولد متالوبتالاکتاماز
Background and Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen. Evidence suggests that the incidence of enzyme-producing strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Metalo Beta Lactamases (MBL) is a major problem in the treatment of infections caused by this organism. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of class I and II integrons among metalobetalactamase pro...
متن کاملIsolation of an integron-borne blaVIM-4 type metallo-beta-lactamase gene from a carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolate in Hungary.
The first integron-borne metallo-beta-lactamase gene was isolated in Hungary. The bla(VIM-4) gene is located on a class 1 integron that also carries a novel bla(OXA)-like gene. The integron is harbored by a serotype O12 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain and shows high structural similarity to integrons isolated in Greece and Poland.
متن کاملGenetic Acquisition of NDM Gene Offers Sustainability among Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Clinical Settings
New Delhi metallo β-lactamases are one of the most significant emerging resistance determinants towards carbapenem drugs. Their persistence and adaptability often depends on their genetic environment and linkage. This study reports a unique and novel arrangement of blaNDM-1 gene within clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from a tertiary referral hospital in north India. Three NDM positi...
