非致病性大肠埃希菌能增多大肠埃希菌O157:H7志贺毒素的产生

大肠埃希菌(简称大肠杆菌)O157：H7毒力因子为志贺毒素2(stx2),其基因由温和噬菌体编码,由晚期基因启动子调控表达。stx2的合成与释放需要诱导噬菌体溶菌周期,而且正常肠道大肠杆菌感染了毒素编码的噬菌体就能制造毒素和噬菌体,使毒素水平远远超过病原性菌株本身的产量,作者在体外以及鼠肠道验证了这一假设。

Investigation of aminoglycoside modifying enzyme genes in methicillin-resistant staphylococci

Methicillin-resistant staphylococci may also be resistant to some other antibiotics as well as beta-lactams. In this study, co-existence of resistance to methicillin and aminoglycosides was genetically investigated in staphylococci. A total of 50 staphylococci from in-patients, 17 Staphylococcus aureus and 33 coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) that contained mecA (gene encoding PBP 2a, an altered penicillin-binding protein) determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were included in the study. Aminoglycoside modifying enzyme (AME) genes were investigated using multiplex-PCR. Aminocyclitol-6'-acetyltransferase-aminocyclitol-2'-phosphotransferase [aac(6')/aph(2')] gene (encoding bifunctional acetyltransferases/phosphotransferases) was determined in 66% of the isolates, aminocyclitol-4'-adenylytransferase (ant(4')-Ia) gene (encoding phosphotransferases) in 24%, and aminocyclitol-3'-phosphotransferase (aph(3')-IIIa) gene (encoding nucleotidyltransferases) in 8%. Two isolates contained all these three genes. Thirty-six (72%) isolates had at least one of these genes. Three CNS and one S. aureus isolates sensitive to oxacillin had the mecA gene. In conclusion, a high rate of aminoglycoside resistance was determined in methicillin-resistant staphylococci. The aac(6')/aph(2') was the most frequently detected.

Fluoroquinolone resistance in clinical and environmental isolates of Escherichia coli in Mexico City

Aims:  To assess the different phenotypes and mechanisms of fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance in clinical and environmental isolates of Escherichia coli .
Methods and Results:  We compared FQ-resistant E. coli isolates, measuring minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of ciprofloxacin, along with susceptibility to other antibiotics. We also searched for the presence of efflux pumps, using efflux inhibitors, and for plasmid-borne FQ-resistance by PCR. We found that, aside from the higher FQ-resistance prevalence among clinical strains, environmental ones resist much lower concentrations of ciprofloxacin. Efflux pumps mediate fluoroquinolone resistance as frequently among environmental isolates than in clinical strains. Plasmid-borne qnrA genes were not detected in any resistant strain.
Conclusions:  Environmental FQ-resistant strains may have a nonclinical origin and/or a selective pressure different from the clinical use of FQs.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  The identification of the source of low-level FQ-resistant strains (ciprofloxacin MIC c . 8 μg ml⁻¹) in the environment could be important to curb the rapid emergence and spread of FQ-resistance in clinical settings, as these strains can easily become fully resistant to FQ concentrations achievable in fluids and tissues during therapy.     

Oligopeptide uptake and aminoglycoside resistance in Escherichia coli K12

Previous reports have suggested that Escherichia coli K12 mutants defective in the expression of oligogopeptide permease protein A (OppA) exhibit reduced sensitivity to aminoglycosides due to altered permeability of the cell envelope. In this work, the role of the OppA protein, and the oligogopeptide permease (Opp) transport system has been evaluated, in the resistance to aminoglycosides using derivatives of the E. coli K12 SS320 strain selected for triornithine resistance or with a deletion of the complete opp operon. All tested mutants were defective in the uptake of tri- and tetra-peptides but did not expressed resistance to aminoglycosides. Additionally, complementation tests carried out with a plasmid encoding the OppA protein did not affect the sensitivity of the strains to these antibiotics. Taken together, these evidences indicate that the Opp uptake system, as well as the OppA protein, does not play a direct role in the sensitivity to aminoglycosides in E. coli K12.     

Characterization of antimicrobial resistance among Escherichia coli isolates from chickens in China between 2001 and 2006

Escherichia coli is a common commensal bacterium and is regarded as a good indicator organism for antimicrobial resistance for a wide range of bacteria in the community and on farms. Antimicrobial resistance of E. coli isolated from chickens from 49 farms in China between 2001 and 2006 was studied. A total of 536 E. coli isolates were collected, and minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of eight antimicrobials were determined by the broth microdilution method. Isolates exhibited high levels of resistance to ampicillin (80.2%), doxycycline (75.0%) and enrofloxacin (67.5%). Relatively lower resistance rates to cephalothin (32.8%), cefazolin (17.0%) and amikacin (6.5%) were observed. Strains were comparatively susceptible to colistin (MIC(50)=1 mug mL(-1)). A marked increase in isolates with elevated MICs for florfenicol was observed over the study period. Therefore, five resistance genes leading to the dissemination of phenicol resistance in the isolates (n=113) with florfenicol MICs>/=32 mug mL(-1) were analyzed. The gene floR was the most prevalent resistance gene and was detected in 92% of the 113 isolates, followed by the cmlA (53%), catA1 (23%) and catA2 (10%) genes. catA3 was not detected in these isolates. Eight isolates with florfenicol MICs=32 mug mL(-1) and one with MIC=64 mug mL(-1) were negative for the floR gene.     

High presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and resistance to quinolones in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli

A study was conducted to detect the presence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in 706 isolates of Escherichia coli, largely from outpatients (75.2%). The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (formerly NCCLS)-recommended disk diffusion procedure was used to detect ESBL presence; the VITEK 2 system (bioMérieux, Marcy L’Etoile, France) was used to determine the susceptibility to antibiotics of clinical interest, and the ESBLs were characterized by biochemical study, determining the isoelectric point, and by molecular study with PCR. Clonal distribution was studied in eight hospital isolates. There were 115 ESBL-producing isolates (16.3%), with a predominance of CTX-M9 type (58.3%). We draw attention to the high resistance to quinolones (>70%) in CTX-M9 and SHV enzyme producing isolates and the lower aminoglycoside activity in the latter.
