Nutrition and Multiresistance Alert
In the last 70 years, the advent of antibiotics radically changed human life, avoiding epidemic infections caused by microbial agents on mankind and loss of enormous quantity of food. Nowadays, most of antibiotics are used in intensive livestock. Furthermore, the contamination of food and spoilage by microorganisms is a major concern to consumers, government authorities and food industries. The...
متن کاملReplication of staphylococcal multiresistance plasmids.
Based on structural and functional properties, three groups of large staphylococcal multiresistance plasmids have been recognized, viz., the pSK1 family, pSK41-like conjugative plasmids, and beta-lactamase-heavy-metal resistance plasmids. Here we describe an analysis of the replication functions of a representative of each of these plasmid groups. The replication initiation genes from the Staph...
متن کاملAmikacin resistance mediated by multiresistance transposon Tn2424.
Tn2424, a multiresistance transposon 25 kilobases long, was isolated from IncFII plasmid NR79. Tn2424 transposed resistance to sulfonamides, streptomycin and spectinomycin, mercuric chloride, chloramphenicol, and amikacin with a frequency of 6 X 10(-5). Resistance to amikacin was mediated by a 6'-N-acetyltransferase, which conferred higher levels of resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa than in ...
متن کامل[Antibiotic multiresistance in critical care units].
The presence of microorganisms with acquired resistance to multiple antibiotics complicates the management and outcome of critically ill patients. The intensivist, in his/her daily activity, is responsible for the prevention and control of the multiresistance and the challenge of prescribing the appropriate treatment in case of an infection by these microorganisms. We have reviewed the literatu...
متن کاملMultiresistance genes of Rhizobium etli CFN42.
Multidrug efflux pumps of bacteria are involved in the resistance to various antibiotics and toxic compounds. In Rhizobium etli, a mutualistic symbiont of Phaseolus vulgaris (bean), genes resembling multidrug efflux pump genes were identified and designated rmrA and rmrB. rmrA was obtained after the screening of transposon-generated fusions that are inducible by bean-root released flavonoids. T...
