INCF plasmids responsible by dissemination of blaKPC gene among enterobacteriaceae
Methods A total of 22 isolates, K. pneumoniae (n=20), Escherichia coli (n=1) and Enterobacter aerogenes (n=1), were collected from a university hospital, in Lisbon, Portugal. MIC were determined by Etest and interpreted according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. PCR was performed with primers designed to amplify blaSHV, blaTEM and blaKPC genes. Molecular typing was per...
متن کاملDistribution of shufflon among IncI plasmids.
A shufflon or clustered inversion is a novel type of DNA rearrangement originally discovered in the IncI1 plasmid R64 (T. Komano, A. Kubo, and T. Nisioka, Nucleic Acids Res. 15:1165-1172, 1987). In a 1.95-kilobase region of R64 DNA, four DNA segments inverted independently or in groups, resulting in a complex DNA rearrangement. We found similar types of shufflon in other IncI1 plasmids, includi...
متن کاملDiversity and Global Distribution of IncL/M Plasmids Enabling Horizontal Dissemination of β-Lactam Resistance Genes among the Enterobacteriaceae
Antibiotic resistance determinants are frequently associated with plasmids and other mobile genetic elements, which simplifies their horizontal transmission. Several groups of plasmids (including replicons of the IncL/M incompatibility group) were found to play an important role in the dissemination of resistance genes encoding β-lactamases. The IncL/M plasmids are large, broad host range, and ...
متن کاملHomemade site directed mutagenesis of whole plasmids.
Site directed mutagenesis of whole plasmids is a simple way to create slightly different variations of an original plasmid. With this method the cloned target gene can be altered by substitution, deletion or insertion of a few bases directly into a plasmid. It works by simply amplifying the whole plasmid, in a non PCR-based thermocycling reaction. During the reaction mutagenic primers, carrying...
متن کاملSite-directed mutagenesis of large plasmids.
A protocol combining recombination PCR and long-distance PCR is demonstrated to be highly accurate and rapid for site-directed mutagenesis of large (> 10 kb) plasmids. Application of this protocol to the generation of mutant rabies virus glycoproteins expressed by the baculovirus/insect cell system illustrates the usefulness of this approach in facilitating structure-function relationships in t...
