چکیده

from plasmid pSCFS1, was found downstream of the cfr gene in pMSA16. The 2848 bp fragment containing the cfr gene and its downstream pre/mob gene showed 100% nucleotide sequence identity to the corresponding parts in plasmids pBS-01 and pBS-02. In conclusion, this is the first report describing the presence of the cfr gene in a bovine MRSA ST9 strain. Moreover, this is also the first report of an erm(A) gene on a small plasmid. The findings of this study suggested that plasmid pMSA16 consists of a pSES22 backbone from which the erm(C) gene was exchanged for an erm(A) gene and into which a pBS-01/pBS-02-related cfr-carrying segment was integrated. These observations underline that inter-plasmid recombination, but also recombination between a plasmid and a transposon, plays a role in the dissemination of cfr and erm(A).

Spread of bla(CTX-M-14) is driven mainly by IncK plasmids disseminated among Escherichia coli phylogroups A, B1, and D in Spain.

Since its first description in 2000, CTX-M-14 has become one of the most widespread extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in Spain. In the present Escherichia coli multilevel population genetic study involving the characterization of phylogroups, clones, plasmids, and genetic platforms, 61 isolates from 16 hospitalized patients and 40 outpatients and healthy volunteers recovered from 2000 to 2005 w...

Detection of TEM, SHV and CTX-M Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Escherichia coli Isolates from Infected Wounds

ABSTRACT        Background and Objective: Escherichia coli is one of the most common causes of hospital-acquired infections. Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli strains are resistant to third-generation cephalosporins. The three main genes involved in ESBL production are TEM, SHV and CTX-M. Detection of ESBL-producing E. coli is of importan...

Phylogenetic groups and cephalosporin resistance genes of Escherichia coli from diseased food-producing animals in Japan

A total of 318 Escherichia coli isolates obtained from different food-producing animals affected with colibacillosis between 2001 and 2006 were subjected to phylogenetic analysis: 72 bovine isolates, 89 poultry isolates and 157 porcine isolates. Overall, the phylogenetic group A was predominant in isolates from cattle (36/72, 50%) and pigs (101/157, 64.3%) whereas groups A (44/89, 49.4%) and D ...

Antibiotic Susceptibility and Multi-drug Resistance of Escherichia coli Isolates Producing CTX-M and TEM Type Beta-lactamases in Mashhad, Iran, in 2010

Background & Aims: One of the most common causes of bacterial resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is beta-lactamase producing. The aim of this study was to compare the antibiotic resistance of urinary Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates producing CTX-M and TEM type beta-lactamases, and to determine the strains with co-resistance to multiple antibiotics in Mashhad, Iran. Methods: E. coli b...

Characterization of CTX-M-14-producing Escherichia coli from food-producing animals

Bacterial resistance to the third-generation cephalosporin antibiotics has become a major concern for public health. This study was aimed to determine the characteristics and distribution of bla CTX-M-14, which encodes an extended-spectrum β-lactamase, in Escherichia coli isolated from Guangdong Province, China. A total of 979 E. coli isolates isolated from healthy or diseased food-producing an...
