چکیده

Four macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B resistance plasmids transferred into 13 recipients belonging to Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Listeria genera. The plasmids were stably maintained in all new hosts except Streptococcus sanguis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria innocua and were identical to those found in the corresponding donor strains.

Plasmid-borne erm(T) from invasive, macrolide resistant Streptococcus pyogenes strains Running title: new GAS macrolide-resistance determinant. Key words: erythromycin and inducible clindamycin resistance, streptococcal plasmid, erm(T), methylase

Twenty-three group A streptococci (GAS) recovered from population-based invasive GAS surveillance in the United States were erythromycin-resistant, inducibly clindamycin-resistant and lacked known macrolide-resistance determinants. These 23 isolates, representing 4 different clones, contained a broad host-range plasmid carrying the erm(T) methylase gene which has not been previously detected in...

Enterococcal transposon Tn5384: evolution of a composite transposon through cointegration of enterococcal and staphylococcal plasmids.

Mechanisms for the possible transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes between staphylococci and enterococci remain poorly defined. We have previously reported the transfer between Enterococcus faecalis strains of a multiresistance chromosomal element (beta-lactamase positive and resistance to erythromycin, gentamicin, mercuric chloride, streptomycin, and tetracycline) which we have tentatively...

Destruction of Escherichia coli and Broad-Host-Range Plasmid DNA in Treated Wastewater by Dissolved Ozone Disinfection under Laboratory and Field Conditions

Broad-host-range plasmids are frequently associated with antibiotic resistance genes and can quickly spread antibiotic resistant phenotypes among diverse bacterial populations. Wastewater treatment plants have been identified as reservoirs for broad-host-range plasmids carrying resistance genes. The threat of broad-host-range plasmids released into the environment from wastewater treatment plan...

Broad-host-range IncP-1 plasmids and their resistance potential

The plasmids of the incompatibility (Inc) group IncP-1, also called IncP, as extrachromosomal genetic elements can transfer and replicate virtually in all Gram-negative bacteria. They are composed of backbone genes that encode a variety of essential functions and accessory genes that have implications for human health and environmental bioremediation. Broad-host-range IncP plasmids are known to...

Adaptive plasmid evolution results in host-range expansion of a broad-host-range plasmid.

Little is known about the range of hosts in which broad-host-range (BHR) plasmids can persist in the absence of selection for plasmid-encoded traits, and whether this "long-term host range" can evolve over time. Previously, the BHR multidrug resistance plasmid pB10 was shown to be highly unstable in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia P21 and Pseudomonas putida H2. To investigate whether this plasmid ...
