Studies of antimicrobial resistance genes using DNA probes.
In nature there is a theoretical gene pool from which microorganisms can acquire genetic determinants that increase their chances of survival in hostile environments. This gene pool consists of genomic DNA, plasmids, phages, insertion sequences, and transposable elements, all of which exist in a dynamic equilibrium. Among the genes that can be obtained by bacteria are those encoding antimicrobi...
متن کاملPredicting antimicrobial resistance in invasive pneumococcal infections.
BACKGROUND The prevalence of multiantimicrobial resistance among Streptococcus pneumoniae continues to increase worldwide. In patients presenting with infection possibly due to pneumococci, recognition of risk factors that would identify those likely to have an antibiotic-resistant isolate might assist clinicians in choosing the most appropriate empirical therapy. METHODS A prospective cohort...
متن کاملIdentification of acquired antimicrobial resistance genes
OBJECTIVES Identification of antimicrobial resistance genes is important for understanding the underlying mechanisms and the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance. As the costs of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) continue to decline, it becomes increasingly available in routine diagnostic laboratories and is anticipated to substitute traditional methods for resistance gene identification. Thus,...
متن کاملIdentifying antimicrobial resistance genes with DNA microarrays.
We developed and tested a glass-based microarray suitable for detecting multiple tetracycline (tet) resistance genes. Microarray probes for 17 tet genes, the beta-lactamase bla(TEM-1) gene, and a 16S ribosomal DNA gene (Escherichia coli) were generated from known controls by PCR. The resulting products (ca. 550 bp) were applied as spots onto epoxy-silane-derivatized, Teflon-masked slides by usi...
متن کاملAssessing wheat (Triticum aestivum) genotypes for "Yr" resistance genes using conserved regions and simple-sequence motifs.
Analysis of DNA sequence variation among genotypes is useful for differentiation of wheat accessions, selection strategies and genetic development of crop plants. We screened molecular markers for yellow rust resistance genes (Yr7, Yr9, Yr15, Yr18, Yr26, and YrH52), which are in the gene-rich regions of wheat chromosomes 1B, 2B, and 7D, to investigate DNA sequence differences and repeat mo...
