Ciprofloxacin induced antibiotic resistance in Salmonella Typhimurium mutants and genome analysis

Antibiotic Resistance, Core-Genome and Protein Expression in IncHI1 Plasmids in Salmonella Typhimurium

Conjugative plasmids from the IncHI1 incompatibility group play an important role in transferring antibiotic resistance in Salmonella Typhimurium. However, knowledge of their genome structure or gene expression is limited. In this study, we determined the complete nucleotide sequences of four IncHI1 plasmids transferring resistance to antibiotics by two different next generation sequencing prot...

Salmonella typhimurium proline mutants.

Resistance of Salmonella typhimurium mutants to galactose death.

A class of galactose-resistant mutants has been derived from strains of Salmonella typhimurium which are defective in uridine diphosphoglucose-4-epimerase. Resistant strains are phenotypically similar to parent organisms but do not lyse in the presence of galactose. Low levels of functional epimerase can be detected in induced cells grown at 20 C but not at 37 C, and acid is not produced from g...

Proline Mutants of Salmonella Typhimurium.

CCORDING to previous analyses of 16 proline-requiring mutants of SalmonA d l a typhimurium, made genetically by NIELSEN (DEMEREC et al. 1954) and biochemically by JSANAZIR (1956; DEMEREC et al. 1955), the mutants fell into at least three groups. Recently, the number of proline-requiring mutants in our collection was increased to more than 200, and useful new techniques were devised or adapted f...

Ciprofloxacin-Resistant Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhimurium, China

We characterized 44 Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium isolates from Tongji Hospital outpatients in Wuhan, China, May 2002-October 2005. All 31 ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates were also resistant to > or = 8 other antimicrobial drugs and carried > or = 2 mutations in GyrA and 1 mutation in ParC. Class 1 integrons were identified in 37 isolates.
