A physical and genetic map was constructed for Pseudomonas aeruginosa C. Mainly, two-dimensional methods were used to place 47 SpeI, 8 PacI, 5 SwaI, and 4 I-CeuI sites onto the 6.5-Mb circular chromosome. A total of 21 genes, including the rrn operons and the origin of replication, were located on the physical map. Comparison of the physical and genetic map of strain C with that of the almost 600-kb-smaller genome of P. aeruginosa reference strain PAO revealed conservation of gene order between the two strains. A large-scale mosaic structure which was due to insertions of blocks of new genetic elements which had sizes of 23 to 155 kb and contained new SpeI sites was detected in the strain C chromosome. Most of these insertions were concentrated in three locations: two are congruent with the ends of the region rich in biosynthetic genes, and the third is located in the proposed region of the replication terminus. In addition, three insertions were scattered in the region rich in biosynthetic genes. The arrangement of the rrn operons around the origin of replication was conserved in C, PAO, and nine other examined independent strains. 相似文献

Staphylococcus xylosus is a ubiquitous bacterium frequently isolated from mammalian skin and occurring naturally on meat and dairy products. A physical and genetic map of the S. xylosus C2a chromosome was constructed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis after digestion with AscI, ApaI, I-CeuI, SfiI and SmaI enzymes and hybridization analysis. The chromosome size was estimated to be 2868+/-10 kb. Thirty-three genetic markers were mapped. The probable origin of replication (oriC) was positioned. Six rrn loci were located, and their orientation was determined. The chromosomes of six additional S. xylosus strains were also analysed by I-CeuI digestion, and an intraspecies diversity of the chromosome size and the number of rrn operons was shown. 相似文献

The genomes of most strains of Salmonella and Escherichia coli are highly conserved. In contrast, all 136 wild-type strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi analyzed by partial digestion with I-CeuI (an endonuclease which cuts within the rrn operons) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and by PCR have rearrangements due to homologous recombination between the rrn operons leading to inversions and translocations. Recombination between rrn operons in culture is known to be equally frequent in S. enterica serovar Typhi and S. enterica serovar Typhimurium; thus, the recombinants in S. enterica serovar Typhi, but not those in S. enterica serovar Typhimurium, are able to survive in nature. However, even in S. enterica serovar Typhi the need for genome balance and the need for gene dosage impose limits on rearrangements. Of 100 strains of genome types 1 to 6, 72 were only 25.5 kb off genome balance (the relative lengths of the replichores during bidirectional replication from oriC to the termination of replication [Ter]), while 28 strains were less balanced (41 kb off balance), indicating that the survival of the best-balanced strains was greater. In addition, the need for appropriate gene dosage apparently selected against rearrangements which moved genes from their accustomed distance from oriC. Although rearrangements involving the seven rrn operons are very common in S. enterica serovar Typhi, other duplicated regions, such as the 25 IS200 elements, are very rarely involved in rearrangements. Large deletions and insertions in the genome are uncommon, except for deletions of Salmonella pathogenicity island 7 (usually 134 kb) from fragment I-CeuI-G and 40-kb insertions, possibly a prophage, in fragment I-CeuI-E. The phage types were determined, and the origins of the phage types appeared to be independent of the origins of the genome types. 相似文献

The isoprenoid quinone contents of streptococci of serological groups D and N were investigated. Streptococcus faecalis, S. faecalis subsp. liquefaciens and S. faecalis subsp. zymogenes strains contained demethylmenaquinones with nine isoprene units as their major isoprenologues. Menaquinones with eight isoprene units predominated in S. faecium subsp. casseliflavus and S. faecium subsp. mobilis whereas menaquinones with nine isoprene units constituted the major components in strains of S. cremoris, S. cremoris subsp. alactosus, S. lactis and S. lactis subsp. diacetylactis. Strains of S. avium, S. bovis, S. durans, S. equinus, S. faecium, S. raffinolactis and S. suis contained neither menaquinones nor ubiquinones. The isoprenoid quinone data correlate well with other kinds of data on these organisms and are of value in the classification of these bacteria. 相似文献

A physical and genetic map of Finegoldia magna (formerly Peptostreptococcus magnus) ATCC 29328 chromosome was constructed. The order of rare cleavage restriction fragments was determined by double digestion with the restriction enzymes I-CeuI, SgrAI, ApaI and PmeI, cross-hybridization and ApaI-linking clones. The size of the circular chromosome of F. magna was estimated to be 1.9 Mb. This strain also had a 200-kb megaplasmid. The chromosome contained four rrn operons, and the orientation of two rrn operons was opposite to the others. Fragment analysis of Peptostreptococcus anaerobius ATCC 27337(T) chromosome suggested that its size was much smaller than that of F. magna ATCC 29328. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate antibiotic susceptibility of Enterococcus sp. strains isolated from two hospitals in ?ód?, during 2005-2006. The second goal was to determine possible transmission of these strains within hospital wards by using melting profile PCR. Enterococcal strains were identified to species according standard microbiological methods. There was isolated 159 strains of E. faecalis, 51 strains of E. faecium and two E. avium, 1 E. durans. Susceptibility to antimicrobial agents was tested by disc diffusion method. None of these strains was resistant to vancomycin, teicoplanin or linezolid. There was high percentage of strains resistant to aminoglicosides, 22% of E. faecalis strains, and 54.9% of E. faecium strains, respectively. Additionally it was shown that 11.7% of E. faecium is resistant to chinuprisin-dalfopristin. The strains with similar pattern of resistance to antibiotics and fenotypic characteristics were genotyped by mpPCR. This technique was useful to confirm relatedness of bacterial strains suspected of being spread within hospital wards. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the drug susceptibility of 100 Enterococcus spp. strains isolated from patients hospitalized in State Clinical Hospital No 1 in Warsaw. All strains were identified (API 20 STREP) and their susceptibility to antibiotics was tested (ATB STREP) in automatic ATB system. Additionally, PYRase activity, beta-lactamase production (in nitrocefin test), MICs for vancomycin and teicoplanin (E test), HLAR--high level aminoglycoside resistance and susceptibility to vancomycin, teicoplanin, piperacillin and piperacillin/tazobactam (disc diffusion method) were determined. E. faecalis ATCC 29212 was used as the control strain. Fifty E. faecalis, 45 E. faecium, 2 E. casseliflavus, 2 E. durans and 1 E. avium strain were cultured. All strains were PYRase-positive and beta-lactamase-negative. Ten isolates demonstrated intermediate susceptibility to vancomycin (6--E. faecalis and 4--E. faecium). One E. faecalis strain was intermediately susceptible to both glycopeptides. One E. casseliflavus strain showed low-level resistance to vancomycin, but this strain was susceptible to teicoplanin--phenotype Van C. HLAR strains were found among 31 E. faecalis and 40 E. faecium strains. 48 E. faecalis strains were susceptible to piperacillin and 49 to piperacillin/tazobactam. Whereas, 41 E. faecium were resistant to both these drugs. Thirty six per cent of isolates were resistant to penicillin and ampicillin, 73% to erythromycin, 87% to tetracycline, 89% to lincomycin and 56% to nitrofurantoin. Some discrepancies were noticed between the results of different methods applied for susceptibility testing--ATB system, E test and disc diffusion. These discrepancies concerned HLAR detection and susceptibility to glycopeptides determination. The best methods were: disc-diffusion for HLAR detection and E test for determination of resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin. Increasing resistance to antimicrobial agents is observed in clinical Enterococcus spp. isolates cultured in our laboratory, especially in E. faecium strains. It is necessary to control the dissemination of multiresistant Enterococcus spp. strains in hospital wards. 相似文献

湖北地区部分医院肠球菌耐药性监测及相关因素分析 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
目的:了解湖北地区2000年度肠球菌的分离情况及耐药状况,并对抗感染用药进行探索,指导临床合理用药。方法:对湖北地区15所三甲医院各类临床标本中的538株肠球菌采用API细菌鉴定系统或Vitek全自动细菌鉴定系统进行分离鉴定,用纸片扩散法进行药敏试验,并以WHO细菌耐药监测网提供的WHONET4软件分析系统对试验数据进行分析处理。结果:本试验共分离肠球菌13个种别538株,其中大多数是粪肠球菌408株,占75.8%,屎肠球菌54株,占10.0%;坚忍肠球菌24株,占4.46%;鸟肠球菌10株,占1.86%。酪黄肠球菌6株,占1.11%;母鸡肠球菌6株,占1.11%等。本研究结果表明肠球菌的主要感染部位为泌尿道31.4%和各种分泌物31.0%。同时从药敏结果可见屎肠球菌和坚忍肠球菌对大多数抗生素的耐药性高于粪肠球基本国策 ;并发现糖肽类抗生素耐药菌株比例尚不高;庆大霉素呈高水平耐药球菌株比例则较高;对青霉素和氨卞西林耐药,本研究结果亦有反映,并且鸟肠球菌的耐药性高于粪肠球菌近三倍。结论:本年度分离的肠球菌占全年总分离菌的第六位,说明我国目前由肠球菌引起的感染所占比例不高,但仍应引起临床的高度重视,并进行动态的监测。加强对肠球菌特别是VRR耐药性的监测是非常必要的,泌尿道肠球菌感染的抗生素中呋喃妥因的耐药率较四环素和喹诺酮类药物为低,故仍不失为治疗该类泌感的首选药物,菌株差别与地区有关,由于肠球菌属中的不同种对抗生素的敏感性不同。因此种的鉴定是对该地区医院感染暴发流行,选择治疗方案的重要工具。 相似文献

I-CeuI fragments of four Shigella species were analyzed to investigate their taxonomic distance from Escherichia coli and to collect substantiated evidence of their genetic relatedness because their ribosomal RNA sequences and similarity values of their chromosomal DNA/DNA hybridization had proved their taxonomic identity. I-CeuI digestion of genomic DNAs yielded seven fragments in every species, indicating that all the Shigella species contained seven sets of ribosome RNA operons. To determine the fragment identities, seven genes were selected from each I-CeuI fragment of E. coli strain K-12 and used as hybridization probes. Among the four Shigella species, S. boydii and S. sonnei showed hybridization patterns similar to those observed for E. coli strains; each gene probe hybridized to the I-CeuI fragments with sizes similar to that of the corresponding E. coli fragment. In contrast, S. dysenteriae and S. flexneri showed distinct patterns; rcsF and rbsR genes that located on different I-CeuI fragments in E. coli, fragments D and E, were found to co-locate on a fragment. Further analysis using an additional three genes that located on fragment D in K-12 revealed that some chromosome rearrangements involving the fragments corresponding to fragments D and E of K-12 took place in S. dysenteriae and S. flexneri. 相似文献

Three hundred and ten enterococcal isolates (178 Enterococcus faecium, 68 E. durans, 49 E. faecalis, 8 E. italicus, 3 E. gallinarum, 3 E. casseliflavus, and 1 E. hirae) from Slovak Bryndza cheese were evaluated for susceptibility to nine antimicrobial agents (vancomycin, teicoplanin, ampicillin, streptomycin, gentamicin, erythromycin, rifampicin, nitrofurantoin, and ciprofloxacin). All enterococcal isolates from Bryndza cheese were susceptible to ampicillin, streptomycin, gentamicin, vancomycin, and teicoplanin as determined by the disk diffusion method. Vancomycin resistance genes vanA and vanB were not detected. Resistance rates of enterococcal isolates to rifampicin, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, and nitrofurantoin were 24, 26, 2, and 1 %, respectively. Thirty-six % of E. faecium isolates and 22 % of the E. faecalis isolates were resistant to erythromycin. Resistance to rifampicin was similar in E. faecium (31 %) and E. faecalis (29 %). Both E. faecium and E. faecalis strains showed the same resistance to ciprofloxacin (2 %). E. durans isolates showed low levels of resistance to rifampicin, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, and nitrofurantoin (1-4 %). Forty-eight (30 %) of the E. faecium isolates, two (3 %) of the E. durans isolates, and six (12 %) of the E. faecalis isolates exhibited multidrug resistance. The highest frequency of resistant enterococci was observed in Bryndza produced in winter season. 相似文献

Identification of enterococci by ribotyping with horseradish-peroxidase-labelled 16S rDNA probes. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Enterococci are frequently associated with hospital-acquired infection. Identification of enterococci using conventional biochemical tests are often tedious to perform in a routine diagnostic laboratory and may give equivocal results. This study evaluates the usefulness of ribotyping by DNA hybridisation to identify 68 members of the bacterial genus Enterococcus characterised by a conventional test scheme. DNA probes (830 bp in size) were derived from the 16S rRNA gene of E. coli or E. faecalis by PCR, labelled with horseradish peroxidase and used in Southern blot hybridisations of enterococcal DNA digested with EcoRI. Unique ribotypes were obtained for 11 different species using 12 Enterococcus type strains. Ribotyping identified 44 E. faecalis isolates, 19 E. faecium isolates, two E. durans isolates and one E. avium isolate in concordance with results of the biochemistry tests. Two isolates that had ribotype patterns identical to the E. faecium type strain were unable to be definitively identified by biochemical tests. The results show that ribotyping is able to differentiate between E. faecium and E. faecalis and may be useful for identifying other enterococci in the hospital setting. In addition, ribotyping using DNA probes and enhanced chemiluminescence is a safe and more reproducible alternative to radiolabelling RNA in a clinical microbiology laboratory. 相似文献

Antibiotic resistance and virulence factors among clinical and food enterococci isolated in Slovakia
Drahovská H Slobodníková L Kocíncová D Seman M Konceková R Trupl J Turna J 《Folia microbiologica》2004,49(6):763-768
The resistance to antibiotics and the distribution of virulence factors in enterococci isolated from traditional Slovak sheep cheese bryndza was compared with strains from human infections. The occurrence of 4 enterococcal species was observed in 117 bryndza-cheese isolates. The majority of strains were identified as E. faecium (76 %) and E. faecalis (23 %). Several strains of E. durans and 1 strain of E. hirae were also present. More than 90 % of strains isolated from 109 clinical enterococci were E. faecalis, the rest belonged to E. faecium. The resistance to 6 antimicrobial substances (ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, higher concentration of gentamicin, nitrofurantoin, tetracycline and vancomycin) was tested in clinical and food enterococci. A higher level of resistance was found in clinical than in food strains and E. faecium had a higher resistance than E. faecalis; no resistance to vancomycin was detected. The occurrence of 3 virulence-associated genes, cylA (coding for hemolysin), gelE (coding for gelatinase) and esp (coding for surface protein) was monitored. Differences were found in the distribution of cylA gene between clinical and bryndza-cheese E. faecalis strains; in contrast to clinical strains (45 %), cylA gene was detected in 22 % of food isolates. The distribution of 2 other virulence factors, gelE and esp, was not significantly different in the two groups of E. faecalis strains. cylA and gelE genes were not detected in E. faecium but more than 70 % of clinical E. faecium were positive for esp, even thought none of the 79 E. faecium cheese isolates contained this gene. 相似文献

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was used to determine the chromosomal size of three different strains of Enterococcus faecalis and one strain of Enterococcus faecium. The size determinations of OG1X, a strain of E. faecalis widely used in many laboratories for genetic studies, using Sma I, Not I, and Sfi I alone or in combination, ranged from 2,750 to 2,761 kb. Using the same enzymes as with OG1X, the size of HH-67, a plasmid-free clinical isolate of E. faecalis, was determined to be 2,170-2,288 kb and the size of JH2-2, an E. faecalis recipient strain, ranged from 2,008 to 2,135 kb. The size range generated for GE-1, a plasmid-free E. faecium strain, with the use of Sma I, Not I, and Apa I was 2,045-2,155 kb. Although OG1X differed in size from the other three enterococci, each individual enterococcal strain generated reproducible results in different experiments. However, for both E. faecalis OG1X and E. faecium GE-1, one of the enzymes used generated a considerably smaller molecular size than that generated by the other two enzymes. The discrepancy was due to visually undiscernible comigrating fragments, and serves to point out a potential source of error if fewer than two enzymes are used to size a genome. The size discrepancies were resolved by digesting individual fragments with a second enzyme. The molecular sizes of these enterococcal strains are larger than that recently reported for Campylobacter, smaller than that of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and similar (OG1X) or smaller (JH2-2, HH67, and GE-1) than the 2,819-kb reported for Streptococcus mutans. 相似文献

The paper presents the result of investigation of species composition, distribution and degree of resistance to antibiotics
of the Enterococcus bacteria in Lake Baikal. It is shown that they live in littoral zones of the lake. In the deep-water part of the lake the
studied microorganisms are not found. We isolated 120 strains identified as E. faecium, E. avium, E. faecalis, E. mundii, E. hirae, E. durans, E. gallinarum. On the whole, the strains of enterococcus isolated from Lake Baikal are characterized as antibiotic-sensitive. Nevertheless,
the antibiotic-resistant strains of enterococci are found in the studied collection, including those with typical intermediate
level of resistance to vancomycin. 相似文献

The complete SfiI and I-CeuI physical maps of four Bacillus subtilis (natto) strains, which were previously isolated as natto (fermented soybean) starters, were constructed to elucidate the genome structure. Not only the similarity in genome size and organization but also the microheterogeneity of the gene context was revealed. No large-scale genome rearrangements among the four strains were indicated by mapping of the genes, including 10 rRNA operons (rrn) and relevant genes required for natto production, to the loci corresponding to those of the B. subtilis strain Marburg 168. However, restriction fragment length polymorphism and the presence or absence of strain-specific DNA sequences, such as the prophages SP beta, skin element, and PBSX, as well as the insertion element IS4Bsu1, could be used to identify one of these strains as a Marburg type and the other three strains as natto types. The genome structure and gene heterogeneity were also consistent with the type of indigenous plasmids harbored by the strains. 相似文献

Three hundred and eight presumed enterococcal isolates were recovered from Bryndza, a soft sheep milk cheese. The cheese samples were obtained from five different commercial distributors in Slovakia and were taken at three different seasonal intervals. All isolates were identified to the species level using genotypic tools. Species-specific PCR using ddl genes highlighted the predominance of Enterococcus faecium (176 isolates) and assigned 50 isolates to the species Enterococcus faecalis. The remaining 82 isolates were classified using repetitive element sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primer (GTG)(5)-(GTG)(5)-PCR, in combination with phenylalanyl-tRNA synthase gene (pheS) sequence analysis and by whole-cell protein analysis (SDS-PAGE). These strains were identified as Enterococcus durans (59 strains), Enterococcus italicus (8 strains), Enterococcus casseliflavus (3 strains), Enterococcus gallinarum (3 strains), Enterococcus hirae (1 strain), and 8 strains were members of the species Lactococcus lactis. Of the seven enterococcal species isolated, three of them, E. durans, E. faecalis and E. faecium were present in all samples studied, with E. faecium as the predominant one. The precise identification of enterococci in Bryndza cheese is an essential step in the process of evaluation of their functional properties which will be further studied and assessed. 相似文献

The intragenomic heterogeneity of the bacterial intergenic (16S-23S rDNA) spacer region (ISR) was analysed from the following species in which sequences for the complete rRNA operon (rrn) set have been determined (rrn number): Enterococcus faecalis (6) and E. faecium (6), Bacillus subtilis (10), Staphylococcus aureus (9), Vibrio cholerae (4), Haemophilus influenzae (6) and Escherichia coli (7). It was found that some spacer sequence blocks were highly conserved between operons of a genome, whereas the presence of others was variable. When these variations were analysed using the program PLATO and partial likelihood phylogenies determined by DNAml for each operon set, three regions showed significant (Z>3.3) spatial variation [Region I was 78-184 nt long (2.14.4) possibly due to recombination or selection. Within Region I, there was sequence block variation in all operon sets [some operons contained tRNA genes (tRNAala, tRNAile or tRNAglu), whereas others had sequence blocks such as VS2 (S. aureus) or rsl (E. coli)]. Q Analysis of the ISR sequence from E. faecalis and E. faecium showed that there was more interspecies than intraspecies variation (both in DNA sequence and in the presence or absence of blocks). Dot matrix analysis of the sequence blocks in the nine rrn ISRs from S. aureus showed that there was significant homology between VS2 and VS5/VS6. Furthermore, repeat motifs with only A or T were present in higher copy numbers in VS5/VS6 than in VS2. Since these sequence blocks (VS2 and VS5-VS6) are related, intragenic evolution resulting in AT expansion may have occurred between these two regions. A model is proposed that postulates a role for recombination and AT-expansion in intra-genomic ISR variations. This process may represent a general mechanism of concerted evolution for bacterial ISR rearrangements. 相似文献
