Preclinical class 1 integron with a complete Tn402-like transposition module.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The presence of integrons was assessed in gut bacteria isolated from wild-caught prawns. A pseudomonad was recovered that contained a Tn402-like class 1 integron with a complete transposition module and two gene cassettes. One cassette was identical to a previously described cassette from a chromosomal class 3 integron in Delftia tsuruhatensis.

Characterization of plasmid pAX22, encoding VIM-1 metallo-β-lactamase, reveals a new putative mechanism of In70 integron mobilization.
OBJECTIVES VIM-type enzymes are among the most widespread acquired metallo-β-lactamases among Gram-negative pathogens. Integron In70 is a class 1 integron that has emerged as a successful genetic support for blaVIM-1 (one of the most prevalent blaVIM allelic variants) in Gram-negative non-fermenters, and is usually chromosome borne. The objective of this study was to characterize plasmid pAX22 ...
متن کاملIMP-1 encoded by a novel Tn402-like class 1 integron in clinical Achromobacter xylosoxidans, China
Achromobacter xylosoxidans strain A22732 is isolated from a pneumonia patient in China and produces carbapenemases OXA-114e and IMP-1, which are encoded by chromosome and plasmid, respectively, and confer resistance to multiple ß-lactam antibiotics including carbapenems. The blaIMP-1 gene together with aacA7 and orfE is captured by a novel Tn402-like class 1 integron in a conjugative IncP-1ß pl...
متن کاملThe complete sequences of plasmids pB2 and pB3 provide evidence for a recent ancestor of the IncP-1beta group without any accessory genes.
The nucleotide sequences of the broad-host-range antibiotic resistance plasmids pB2 (61 kb) and pB3 (56 kb), which were isolated from a wastewater treatment plant, were determined and analysed. Both have a nearly identical IncP-1beta backbone, which diverged early from the sequenced IncP-1beta plasmids R751, pB10, pJP4, pADP1 and pUO1. In contrast to the latter plasmids, the pB2 and pB3 backbon...
متن کاملThe blaIMP-5-carrying integron in a clinical Acinetobacter baumannii strain is flanked by miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs).
Sir, IMP enzymes are one of the class B-type metallo-b-lactamases found in Acinetobacter baumannii. So far, nine IMP enzymes have been reported in this species, many as isolated cases (GenBank accession numbers DQ845788 and AB184977). IMP b-lactamases are often present in class 1 integrons, which, in turn, are embedded in transposons, resulting in highly transmissible genetic units. The majorit...
متن کاملDetection of gene cassettes in Tn402-like class 1 integrons.
Amplification of the gene cassettes in class 1 integrons by PCR using primers in the 5 conserved segment (5 -CS) and the 3 -CS (7, 8) has been used in hundreds of studies to identify integron-associated resistance genes (Fig. 1A). Equivalent PCR primers that detect cassettes in class 2 integrons, i.e., Tn7 family transposons (18), are also widely used. The approach used to detect integrons in a...
