双歧杆菌质粒的检测及其对抗生素敏感性

本文应用ＬｅＢＬａｎｃ法提取６种２０株双歧杆菌菌株的质粒,发现共有４个种的６株菌株存在着１～３个质粒,多数质粒的分子量小于６．０ｋｂ。存在质粒的双歧杆菌包括分离自人的短双歧杆菌、青春双歧杆菌、两歧双岐杆菌和婴儿双歧杆菌。用固体培养基滤纸片抑菌圈法测定双歧杆菌对１５种常用抗生素的敏感性,结果表明,测试的２０株双歧杆菌菌株对所检测的１５种抗生素的敏感性无规律可循,而且质粒消除实验表明质粒的存在与所检测的抗生素抗性无相关性。     

双歧杆菌的耐药性与质粒

目的：研究双歧杆菌的耐药性与质粒的关系。方法 对１７株５种来自微生态制剂的双歧杆菌进行抗生素药敏试验和质粒检测,利用溴化乙锭消除其质粒;比较质粒消除前后耐药性的改变。结果１７株双歧杆菌对氨基糖式类和多肽类抗生素呈强抗性;除１株短型双歧杆菌Ｂ１５７存有２．７Ｋｂ和５．６Ｋｂ两种质粒外,其余菌株均未质粒,消除后持粒的Ｂ１５７株菌对抗生素的敏感性并未改变。结论 此１７株双歧杆菌的耐药性与质粒无直接相关性     

来自海南等地的17个Bt分离株质粒多样性分析

本研究采用琼脂糖凝胶电泳对分离白海南岛的12个Bt菌株与分离自广西、黑龙江的5株Bt菌株及2株Bt模式菌株进行质粒数量、大小等特征分析.19个供试菌株可区分为16种独特的质粒电泳图谱,充分显示出不同来源bt菌株的质粒多样性.进一步选择了其中的10个菌株,利用包埋法制备琼脂块进行脉冲场凝胶电泳(PFGE),结果表明苏云金芽孢杆菌大质粒组成特征也具有丰富多样性.但是供试菌株的质粒电泳图谱并未体现与地理和生态特征相关联的特征差异.研究结果初步证实海南分离株S3078-1是一株无内生质粒的Bt菌株,而S3031-1和S3073-1两个分离株仅有一个大质粒存在,这三个分离株将为进一步研究质粒功能提供初始菌株.本研究进一步暗示将琼脂糖凝胶电泳和脉冲场凝胶电泳结合起来研究质粒特征提高了结果的可靠性.     

我国葡萄根癌农杆菌Ti质粒的特征

以窄宿主葡萄农杆菌Ag162Ti质粒的T-DNA区tmr、tmsl和ocs基因座位以及T_A-DNA和T_B-DNA片段为探针,对12株我国分离的不同生物型、质粒类型和寄主范围的葡萄根癌农杆菌的引质粒转移DNA(T-DNA)进行Southern杂交分析。在9株生物3型octoplne Ti质粒菌株中,与上述探针均同源。其中窄宿主葡萄根癌农杆菌菌株杂交片段彼此较一致。广宿主葡萄根癌农杆菌菌株的杂交片段彼此差异较大。1株无致瘤能力的生物1型菌株与5个探针均不杂交。1株生物3型nopaline Ti质粒菌株及1株诱导冠瘿瘤中只合成精氨酸的菌株,杂交带的变化也大。由此可见葡萄农杆菌在生物进化过程中其转移DNA呈多态性,成为农杆菌中特殊类群。本分析对葡萄根癌农杆菌致病菌株的鉴定亦有帮助。

Frequent conjugative transfer accelerates adaptation of a broad-host-range plasmid to an unfavorable Pseudomonas putida host

IncP-1 plasmids are known to be promiscuous, but it is not understood if they are equally well adapted to various species within their host range. Moreover, little is known about their fate in bacterial communities. We determined if the IncP-1beta plasmid pB10 was unstable in some Proteobacteria, and whether plasmid stability was enhanced after long-term carriage in a single host and when regularly switched between isogenic hosts. Plasmid pB10 was found to be very unstable in Pseudomonas putida H2, and conferred a high cost (c. 20% decrease in fitness relative to the plasmid-free host). H2(pB10) was then evolved under conditions that selected for plasmid maintenance, with or without regular plasmid transfer (host-switching). When tested in the ancestral host, the evolved plasmids were more stable and their cost was significantly reduced (9% and 16% for plasmids from host-switched and nonswitched lineages, respectively). Our findings suggest that IncP-1 plasmids can rapidly adapt to an unfavorable host by improving their overall stability, and that regular conjugative transfer accelerates this process.     

Curing of four different plasmids in Yersinia pestis using plasmid incompatibility

Aims: Plasmids are critical for the pathogenicity of Yersinia pestis. In order to carry out a systematic investigation of their role in pathogenesis, we cured plasmids from Y. pestis. Methods and Results: Each plasmid’s replicon of Y. pestis was cloned into plasmid pEX18Gm containing a counter‐selectable sacB gene, and was then introduced into Y. pestis strain 201 by electroporation. Strains containing recombinant plasmids were cultivated under antibiotic selection. The resultant plasmid‐curing colonies, identified by specific polymerase chain reactions, were then cured off pEX18Gm under sucrose pressure. This method was used to successfully cure all four plasmids of Y. pestis, singly or in different combinations. Conclusions: Naturally evolving plasmids in Y. pestis are difficult to remove by conventional curing methods. We employed a method based on plasmid incompatibility to cure the plasmids from Y. pestis, which confirmed the efficacy of this method for curing plasmids with different types of replicons from one bacterium. Significance and Impact of the Study: There have been no reports on the curing of multiple plasmids by using replication mechanisms from one bacterium with this technique. In the present study, we were able to successfully apply this methodology to cure four plasmids from Y. pestis, confirming its feasibility.

Sequence of the 68,869 bp IncP-1α plasmid pTB11 from a waste-water treatment plant reveals a highly conserved backbone, a Tn402-like integron and other transposable elements

To analyse the significance of conjugative broad-host-range IncP-1α plasmids for the spread of antibiotic resistance determinants in waste-water treatment plants we isolated and characterised five different IncP-1α plasmids from bacteria of activated sludge and the final effluents of a municipal waste-water treatment plant. These plasmids mediate resistance to ampicillin, cefaclor, cefuroxime, gentamicin, kanamycin, spectinomycin, streptomycin, tetracycline, tobramycin, and trimethoprim. The complete 68,869 bp DNA-sequence of the IncP-1α plasmid pTB11 was determined. The pTB11 backbone modules for replication (Rep), mating pair formation (Trb), multimer resolution (Mrs), post-segregational killing (Psk), conjugative DNA-transfer (Tra), plasmid control (Ctl), and stable maintenance and inheritance (KilA, KilE, and KilC) are highly conserved as compared to the ‘Birmingham’ IncP-1α plasmids. In contrast to the ‘Birmingham’ plasmids pTB11 carries an insert of a Tn402-derivative integrating a class 1 integron in the intergenic region between the multimer resolution operon parCBA and the post-segregational killing operon parDE. The integron comprises the resistance gene cassettes oxa2 (β-lactamase), aacA4 (aminoglycoside-6′N-acetyltransferase), and aadA1 (aminoglycoside-3′-adenylyltransferase) and a complete tniABQR transposition module. Integron-specific sequences were also identified on other IncP-1α plasmids analysed in this work. In contrast to the ‘Birmingham’ plasmids the pTB11 tetracycline resistance module carries a pecM- and a pncA-like gene downstream of the tetracycline resistance gene tetA and contains an insertion of the new insertion sequence element ISTB11. The transposable elements IS21 and Tn1 which disrupted, respectively, orf7 and klcB on the ‘Birmingham’ plasmids are not present on pTB11. Identification of IncP-1α plasmids in bacteria of the waste-water treatment plant’s final effluents indicates that bacteria carrying these kind of plasmids are released into the environment.     

水稻植物内生链霉菌中线型和环型质粒的检测

以广东番禺和五山地区水稻植株中分离到的内生链霉菌为对象,调查可能存在的内源质粒.利用脉冲电泳技术从8个菌株中检测到大小在60 kb～410 kb的线型质粒,其中4个菌株的线型质粒可能有保守的端粒复制基因.该结果与土壤链霉菌中检测到线型质粒和具有保守端粒复制基因的比例相似,表明水稻植物组织内部的独特环境不会造成链霉菌线型质粒的多样性分布产生大的变化.此外,从13个菌株中检测到6 kb～60 kb的环型质粒.

淋病奈瑟菌粘附性质粒的研究

从1株临床分离的淋病奈瑟菌(N.gonorrheae,Ng)分别检测出耐氨苄青霉素(AMPr)及四环素(TCr)的2种质粒(R质粒),其分子量分别为25.2 Mu和4.5 Mu.进一步研究发现,编码TCr的质粒也编码普通菌毛,因而与其粘附性有关.消除此R质粒不但细菌的TCr消失,电镜下观察其菌毛几乎全部消失,其粘附性也显著降低,故此R质粒也被确认为是粘附性质粒(Adh质粒).
