Characterization of fluoroquinolone resistance in a clinical isolate of Pseudomonas stutzeri.
Sir, Pseudomonas stutzeri is a non-fluorescent denitrifying bacterium widely distributed in the environment and rarely isolated as an opportunistic pathogen from humans. This species accounts for 1%–2% of hospital-acquired Pseudomonas spp. infections. Pseudomonas stutzeri is susceptible to many more antibiotics than the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, its most closely related species. Th...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of high-level fluoroquinolone resistance in a clinical isolate of Haemophilus parainfluenzae.
plasmid is also uncertain; restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis showed that it differed from previously studied blaKPC-encoding plasmids carried by other carbapenem-resistant E. coli clones in our hospital. Since the emergence of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae in Israel during 2006, an active surveillance programme was implemented in high-risk patients newly admitted to our ins...
متن کاملCharacterization of DIM-1, an integron-encoded metallo-beta-lactamase from a Pseudomonas stutzeri clinical isolate in the Netherlands.
A carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas stutzeri strain isolated from a Dutch patient was analyzed in detail. This isolate produced a metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) whose gene, with 43.5% GC content, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. beta-Lactamase DIM-1 (for Dutch imipenemase) was weakly related to other Ambler class B beta-lactamases, sharing <52% amino acid identity with the most closel...
متن کاملCharacterization of Esterase A, a Pseudomonas stutzeri A15 Autotransporter.
Autotransporters are a widespread family of proteins, generally known as virulence factors produced by Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, the esterase A (EstA) autotransporter of the rice root-colonizing beneficial bacterium Pseudomonas stutzeri A15 was characterized. A multiple sequence alignment identified EstA as belonging to clade II of the GDSL esterase family. Autologous overexpressio...
متن کاملIsolation, Purification and Characterization of Proline Dehydrogenase from a Pseudomonas putida POS-F84 Isolate
The purpose of this study was to isolate and characterize Proline Dehydrogenase (ProDH) enzyme frommicroorganisms isolated from soil in Iran. Isolation and screening of L-proline degradative enzymes from soilsamples was carried out. The isolate was characterized by biochemical markers and 16S rRNA geneanalysis. The target ProDH was purified and the effects of pH and temperatur...
