Plasmid-encoded Tet B tetracycline resistance in Haemophilus parasuis.
The complete sequence of two plasmids, pHS-Tet (5.1 kb) and pHS-Rec (9.5 kb), isolated from Haemophilus parasuis strain HS1543 has been obtained. Plasmid pHS-Tet contains four open reading frames including a tet(B) tetracycline resistance gene which unusually did not have an associated tetR repressor gene. From a total of 45 H. parasuis isolates surveyed (15 international reference strains, 15 ...
متن کاملPlasmid-mediated tetracycline resistance in Haemophilus ducreyi.
Clinical isolates of Haemophilus ducreyi were shown to be resistant to tetracycline. Resistance was associated in some strains with a 30-megadalton plasmid capable of transferring resistance in conjugative matings with other strains of H. ducreyi and other species of Haemophilus. Restriction endonuclease digestion patterns suggest a relationship between H. ducreyi plasmids and other tetracyclin...
متن کاملCharacterization of a novel small plasmid carrying the florfenicol resistance gene floR in Haemophilus parasuis.
Sir, The Gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus parasuis is the causative agent of Glässer’s disease, which is characterized by various combinations of meningoencephalitis, polyserositis, polyarthritis and bacterial pneumonia, resulting in major economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. Florfenicol is used exclusively in veterinary medicine and was approved for the treatment of porcine resp...
متن کاملPrevalence of Tetracycline Resistance Genes tet (A, B, C, 39) in Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Tehran, Iran by Multiplex PCR
Background and Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the three pathogens that has become a global disease control and treatment problem due to its resistance to common antibiotics. For this reason, it is crucial to study the genes that cause antibiotic resistance in it. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the phenotypic and genotypic frequency of tetracycline resistance in ...
متن کاملTet B or not tet B: advances in tetracycline-inducible gene expression.
Be it the B class, or another class of tetracycline (tet) repressor, the utility and specificity of transcriptional regulators based on this family of prokaryotic DNA binding proteins is unparalleled. A method for regulating gene expression at will in mammalian cells has long been the holy grail. Transfections of uncontrolled numbers of plasmids and unregulated gene expression were breakthrough...
