New integron-associated gene cassette encoding a trimethoprim-resistant DfrB-type dihydrofolate reductase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A sixth gene cassette containing a dfrB-type gene, dfrB6, was found in a dfrB6-aadA1 cassette array in class 1 integrons. This array was isolated from several multiply antibiotic-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis strains that appear to be clonally related. The DfrB6 dihydrofolate reductase conferred resistance to trimethoprim.

New trimethoprim-resistant dihydrofolate reductase cassette, dfrXV, inserted in a class 1 integron.
The nucleotide sequence of a plasmid-borne trimethoprim resistance gene from a commensal fecal Escherichia coli isolate revealed a new dihydrofolate reductase gene, dfrXV, which occurred as a gene cassette integrated in a site-specific manner in a class 1 integron. The new gene shows 84% nucleotide identity and the predicted protein shows 90% amino acid identity with dfrI and DHFR type I, respe...
متن کاملNew gene cassettes for trimethoprim resistance, dfr13, and Streptomycin-spectinomycin resistance, aadA4, inserted on a class 1 integron.
In a previous survey of 357 trimethoprim-resistant isolates of aerobic gram-negative bacteria from commensal fecal flora, hybridization experiments showed that 25% (90 of 357) of the isolates failed to hybridize to specific oligonucleotide probes for dihydrofolate reductase types 1, 2b, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12. Subsequent cloning and sequencing of a plasmid-borne trimethoprim resistance ge...
متن کاملA novel dihydrofolate reductase cassette inserted in an integron borne on a Tn21-like element.
In this study, a 498-bp dhfrXII gene coding for trimethoprim resistance was found inserted in a cassette-like manner in the recombinationally active locus, the integron, borne on a transposon Tn21-like element. The dhfrXII cassette is distinct from those cassettes earlier observed in integrons and was found here upstream of two similarly inserted cassettes. The second one carried the new uniden...
متن کاملA new trimethoprim resistance gene, dhfrX, in the In7 integron of plasmid pDGO100.
A new trimethoprim resistance determinant, designated dhfrX, was identified in the In7 integron of pDGO100. The sequence of the dhfrX dihydrofolate reductase is up to 28% identical to the sequences of several known dihydrofolate reductase proteins. The dhfrX gene is adjacent to the second 3'-conserved segment of the In7 integron, but the first 77 bases of this segment are not present.
متن کاملCharacterization of an R-plasmid dihydrofolate reductase with a monomeric structure.
A plasmid-encoded dihydrofolate reductase that originated in a clinical isolate of Salmonella typhimurium (phage type 179) moderately resistant to trimethoprim has been isolated and characterized. The dihydrofolate reductase (called type III) was purified to homogeneity using a combination of gel filtration, hydrophobic chromatography, and methotrexate affinity chromatography. Polyacrylamide ge...
