Prevalence of SXT/R391-like integrative and conjugative elements carrying blaCMY-2 in Proteus mirabilis.
OBJECTIVES To characterize the vectors involved in the dissemination of bla(CMY-2) genes in clinical isolates of Proteus mirabilis collected between 1999 and 2007. METHODS Plasmid analysis of 19 P. mirabilis carrying ampC genes was performed by PCR-based replicon typing, S1-PFGE and Southern hybridization with ampC and replicon probes. Isolates that could not be characterized were examined fo...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity of Proteus Mirabilis Isolated from Urine Specimens by Box PCR
Introduction: Proteus mirabilis is one of the common causes of UTI.Multiple molecular methods are used to genotype bacteria.The polymerase chain reaction method is based on repeated sequences using BOXA1R primers for differentiation of bacteria. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of protease mirabilis isolated from urine specimens. Materials & Methods: In this descriptive cr...
متن کاملLipoprotein from Proteus mirabilis.
The biosynthesis of a Proteus mirabilis outer membrane protein of molecular weight of approximately 7,000 was found to be relatively resistant to puromycin and rifampin, as is the case for the Escherichia coli liporotein. Furthermore, the existence of the lipoprotein in P. mirabilis was indicated by a comparison of the amino acid compositions of the purified free and bound forms of this protein...
متن کاملSXT/R391 integrative and conjugative elements in Proteus species reveal abundant genetic diversity and multidrug resistance
SXT/R391 integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are self-transmissible mobile genetic elements that are found in most members of Enterobacteriaceae. Here, we determined fifteen SXT/R391 ICEs carried by Proteus isolates from food (4.2%) and diarrhoea patients (17.3%). BLASTn searches against GenBank showed that the fifteen SXT/R391 ICEs were closely related to that from different Enterobact...
متن کاملDetection of bla KPC-2 in Proteus mirabilis in Brazil.
INTRODUCTION Infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing isolates pose a major worldwide public health problem today. METHODS A carbapenem-resistant Proteus mirabilis clinical isolate was investigated for plasmid profiles and the occurrence of β-lactamase genes. RESULTS The isolate exhibited resistance to ertapenem and imipenem and was susceptible to meropenem, ...
