Genomic Diversity within the Enterobacter cloacae Complex
BACKGROUND Isolates of the Enterobacter cloacae complex have been increasingly isolated as nosocomial pathogens, but phenotypic identification of the E. cloacae complex is unreliable and irreproducible. Identification of species based on currently available genotyping tools is already superior to phenotypic identification, but the taxonomy of isolates belonging to this complex is cumbersome. ...
متن کاملSpecific distribution within the Enterobacter cloacae complex of strains isolated from infected orthopedic implants.
Bacteria belonging to the Enterobacter genus are frequently isolated from clinical samples but are unusual causative agents of orthopedic implant infections. Twelve genetic clusters (clusters I to XII) and one sequence crowd (sequence crowd xiii) can be distinguished within the Enterobacter cloacae nomenspecies on the basis of hsp60 sequence analysis, and until now, none of these clusters could...
متن کاملFRI-2 carbapenemase-producing Enterobacter cloacae complex in the UK.
Objectives Detection of rarer carbapenemases is challenging, as it requires molecular assays with comprehensive coverage or the use of phenotypic methods for the detection of carbapenemase activity. We describe a new class A carbapenemase, FRI-2, in an Enterobacter cloacae complex isolate following implementation of an in-house multiplex PCR for the detection of 'rare' class A carbapenemases. ...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity and Functional Analysis of Sigma Factors in Enterobacter cloacae Complex Resourced From Various Niche
Sigma factors are bacterial transcription factors that bind the core RNA polymerase and direct transcription initiation at a specific promoter site. These specialized sigma factors bind the promoters of genes appropriate to the environmental conditions and selectively increase the transcription of those genes. Here, we attempt to identify sigma factors in 5 genomes belonging to the Enterobacter...
متن کاملBiotyping of Enterobacter cloacae.
A biotyping scheme for Enterobacter cloacae is proposed. Tests with seven substrates that gave reliable, reproducible results with 110 isolates of E cloacae formed the basis of the biotyping scheme which would allow recognition of 128 potential biotypes.
