Genes encoding tetracycline resistance in a full-scale municipal wastewater treatment plant investigated during one year.
Tetracycline-resistant bacteria and genes encoding tetracycline resistance are common in anthropogenic environments. We studied how wastewater treatment affects the prevalence and concentration of two genes, tetA and tetB, that encode resistance to tetracycline. Using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) we analysed wastewater samples collected monthly for one year at eight key-sites in a ...
متن کاملStructural basis for TetM-mediated tetracycline resistance.
Ribosome protection proteins (RPPs) confer tetracycline resistance by binding to the ribosome and chasing the drug from its binding site. The current model for the mechanism of action of RPPs proposes that drug release is indirect and achieved via conformational changes within the drug-binding site induced upon binding of the RPP to the ribosome. Here we report a cryo-EM structure of the RPP Te...
متن کاملDissemination of the tetM tetracycline resistance determinant to Ureaplasma urealyticum.
Ureaplasma urealyticum is an organism considered susceptible to tetracycline. Ten tetracycline-resistant (Tcr) clinical isolates and Tcr serotype 9 were examined. All contained DNA sequences homologous to the streptococcal determinant tetM. They differed from each other on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Southern blots, and immunoblots and appeared to represent differ...
متن کاملPrevalence and proliferation of antibiotic resistance genes in two municipal wastewater treatment plants.
The propagation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is an emerging health concern worldwide. Thus, it is important to understand and mitigate their occurrence in different systems. In this study, 30 ARGs that confer resistance to tetracyclines, sulfonamides, quinolones or macrolides were detected in two activated sludge wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in northern China. Bacteria harboring...
متن کاملThe involvement of tetA and tetE tetracycline resistance genes in plasmid and chromosomal resistance of Aeromonas in Brazilian strains.
This study analyzed the involvement of tetA and tetE genes in the tetracycline resistance of 16 strains of genus Aeromonas, isolated from clinical and food sources. Polymerase chain reactions revealed that 37.5% of the samples were positive for tetA, and also 37.5% were tetE positive. One isolate was positive for both genes. Only the isolate A. caviae 5.2 had its resistance associated to the pr...
