Characterisation of a mobilisable plasmid conferring florfenicol and chloramphenicol resistance in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complete nucleotide sequence of a 7.7kb mobilisable plasmid (pM3446F), isolated from a florfenicol resistant isolate of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, showed extended similarity to plasmids found in other members of the Pasteurellaceae containing the floR gene as well as replication and mobilisation genes. Mobilisation into other Pasteurellaceae species confirmed that this plasmid can be transferred horizontally.

New plasmid tools for genetic analysis of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and other pasteurellaceae.
We have generated a set of plasmids, based on the mobilizable shuttle vector pMIDG100, which can be used as tools for genetic manipulation of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and other members of the Pasteurellaceae. A tandem reporter plasmid, pMC-Tandem, carrying promoterless xylE and gfpmut3 genes downstream of a multiple-cloning site (MCS), can be used for identification of transcriptional re...
متن کاملCharacterization of a novel small plasmid carrying the florfenicol resistance gene floR in Haemophilus parasuis.
Sir, The Gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus parasuis is the causative agent of Glässer’s disease, which is characterized by various combinations of meningoencephalitis, polyserositis, polyarthritis and bacterial pneumonia, resulting in major economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. Florfenicol is used exclusively in veterinary medicine and was approved for the treatment of porcine resp...
متن کاملEfficacy of florphenicol premix in weanling pigs experimentally infected with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae.
The efficacy of a florfenicol premix was studied in weaning pigs experimentally inoculated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. Twenty five clinically healthy pigs were distributed into 3 groups; group A non-medicated, groups B and C orally medicated with 20 and 40 ppm of florfenicol respectively. The pigs were fed during 12 consecutive days and on day 5 all the groups were challenged with A. ...
متن کاملIdentification of dfrA14 in two distinct plasmids conferring trimethoprim resistance in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to determine the distribution and genetic basis of trimethoprim resistance in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae isolates from pigs in England. METHODS Clinical isolates collected between 1998 and 2011 were tested for resistance to trimethoprim and sulphonamide. The genetic basis of trimethoprim resistance was determined by shotgun WGS analysis and the ...
متن کاملPlasmid-borne florfenicol resistance in Pasteurella multocida.
OBJECTIVES A florfenicol-resistant Pasteurella multocida isolate from a calf was investigated for the genetic basis of florfenicol resistance and the location of the resistance gene. METHODS The P. multocida isolate 381 was investigated for its in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial agents and its plasmid content. A 10.8 kb florfenicol-chloramphenicol resistance plasmid, designated pCCK381,...
