肠杆菌4.5S RNA基因单链构象多态性的比较研究

本文对大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli)不同菌株和肠杆菌科(Enterobacteriaceae)不同属其他三种菌株,即普通变形菌(Proteus vulgaris)、粘质沙雷氏菌(Serratia marcescens)和产气肠杆菌(Enterobacter aerogenes),分别进行4.5S RNA基因聚合酶链式反应(PCR),然后对扩增产物作依赖于序列的单链构象多态性(SSCP)分析.实验结果表明,上述细菌4.5S RNA基因的大小和正链构象均无可觉察的差异,仅产气肠杆菌的负链构象有明显不同.由此可见4.5S RNA基因在进化上相当保守,产气肠杆菌4.5S RNA基因的序列虽有改变,仍能维持其有义链的基本构象.

Transfer of kanamycin resistance among familial strains of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from a chronic bacterial carrier of Salmonella schottmuelleri

Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes and S. schottmuelleri were isolated from the large intestine of a bacteriocarrier. E. coli and E. aerogenes strains proved to be resistant to a number of antibiotics. Plasmids were detected in DNA preparations obtained from E. coli strains. After the hybridization of these E. coli strains with E. coli C600 5K and S. schottmuelleri at 28 degrees C the transfer of resistance to kanamycin was found to occur. From some of the transconjugates thus obtained resistance to kanamycin was transferred to E. aerogenes. This resistance was found to be controlled by the plasmid with a molecular weight exceeding 2 Md. The fact that S. schottmuelleri in the carrier's body retained their sensitivity to antibiotics can be explained by the absence of the transfer of plasmid Kmr at a temperature exceeding 28 degrees C and by the existence of the infective agent in an ecological niche other than that of E. coli.     

Resistance to imipenem, cefepime, and cefpirome associated with mutation in Omp36 osmoporin of Enterobacter aerogenes

Enterobacter aerogenes develops increased multidrug resistance via a functional alteration of outer-membrane permeability associated with a decrease in porin function. We have sequenced the gene coding the major porin of Enterobacter aerogenes, omp36. The sequence shows a high similarity with the Klebsiella pneumoniae ompK36 gene and is closely related to the enterobacterial OmpC family. Sequence analysis of several Omp36 issued from clinical strains indicated variability in putative cell-surface exposed domains. Interestingly, substitution Gly112Asp was observed in the conserved eyelet L3 region of the porin produced by two strains, C and 3. This substitution is associated with a high general beta-lactam resistance observed in these isolates and with alteration of pore properties previously described in strain 3 porin [Mol. Microbiol. 41 (2001) 189]. This is the first genetic identification of impermeability-mediated resistance to beta-lactams in various clinical E. aerogenes strains.     

Profiles of the utilization of 20 amino acids as the only source of nitrogen and carbon in bacteria of the genera Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Serratia, Escherichia

The profiles of the utilization of 20 protein amino acids in 118 Klebsiella pneumoniae sub- sp. pneumoniae, K. oxytoca, K. planticola, K. mobilis, Enterobacter cloacae, Serratia marscescens, S. liquefaciens, Escherichia coli strains isolated from clinical material were studied. The utilization of amino acids was determined on minimal saline agar containing amino acid as the only source of nitrogen and carbon; the results were evaluated after 72-hour incubation at 37 degrees C. 17 profiles of amino-acid utilization were thus determined, most of them genus-specific in enterobacteria: Klebsiella (profiles No. 1--6, 9, 10), Enterobacter (No. 11--13), Serratia (No. 14--16), Escherichia (No. 17). The full coincidence of amino-acid utilization profiles in bacteria of K. mobilis (No. 1, 6) and K. pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae with out of such profiles in bacteria of the genera Enterobacter, Serratia, Escherichia was established, which confirmed that K. mobilis (formerly Enterobacter aerogenes) belonged to the genus Klebsiella.     

近三年产气肠杆菌临床感染情况分析

目的监测嵊州市人民医院近三年产气肠杆菌对常用抗生素耐药情况。方法对嵊州市人民医院2013年至2015年间收集的产气肠杆菌临床科室分布情况进行统计,并做临床常用抗生素耐药性分析,用WHONET 5.4软件进行统计学分析。结果分离得到的产气肠杆菌主要来源于神经外科、重症医学科和呼吸内科的痰液和尿液标本。药敏结果显示其对第一、二代头孢类抗生素耐药率普遍较高:对头孢唑啉几乎全耐药,对头孢呋辛耐药率约为55%;第四代的头孢吡肟能明显抑制产气肠杆菌生长,2013年到2015年对头孢吡肟耐药率分别为8.18%、9.14%和10.74%;对氨基糖苷类抗生素庆大霉素和丁胺卡那,以及碳青霉烯类抗生素亚胺培南和美罗培南具有很高的敏感性。结论嵊州市人民医院院感科近年间通过对产气肠杆菌临床用药的合理监测,及时向临床医生反馈微生物实验室的耐药结果,避免了抗生素滥用,使得其对抗生素耐药率未出现明显提高。氨基糖苷类抗生素和碳青霉烯类抗生素对其仍具有很高的疗效,应继续通过药敏试验加强对其耐药性监测,指导临床合理用药。     

Construction of mobilizable vectors derived from plasmids RP4, pUC18 and pUC19

Mobilizable narrow-host-range plasmids were constructed from pUC18 and pUC19 by addition of a segment of pSUP2021 bearing the basis of mobilization (bom) site and origin of transfer (oriT) of RP4. One pair of expression vectors, pARO180 and pARO190, retains the beta-lactamase (bla) gene and twelve of the 13 restriction enzyme multiple cloning sites (MCS) of pUC18/19. Another pair was created by replacing the bla gene with the gene encoding kanamycin resistance (kan) from Tn5. The molecules replicate to high copy number in Escherichia coli and Enterobacter aerogenes. They can be transferred efficiently to other Gram- bacteria from the mobilizing strain, E. coli S17-1. In non-enteric strains, the new plasmids can be used as suicide vectors in site-specific insertional mutagenesis.     

Evaluation of a commercial beta-glucuronidase test for the rapid and economical identification of Escherichia coli

A commercial beta-glucuronidase (beta-GUR) test for the rapid and economical identification of Escherichia coli was evaluated. A total of 762 clinical strains and 228 environmental isolates were studied. More than 95% of the E. coli strains were found to be beta-GUR positive. Thirty-one clinical isolates of Shigella sonnei, 10 of Enterobacter cloacae, eight of Enterobacter aerogenes, nine of Citrobacter freundii and one of Salmonella enteritidis also gave positive results. The enzyme beta-GUR was also detected in two environmental strains of E. cloacae and one C. freundii. A comparative study between the beta-GUR test and the conventional identification system was carried out in 233 consecutive isolates of lactose positive enterobacteria. Agreement was observed in 223 cases and 190 E. coli strains were correctly identified using this test. Discrepancies were found in 10 cases: nine E. coli were beta-GUR negative and one C. freundii was beta-GUR positive. Escherichia coli was the only species positive for both beta-GUR and indole tests. This procedure permits a rapid, easy, precise and inexpensive identification of E. coli. beta-GUR positive Enterobacter strains have not previously been described.     

The occurrence of duplicate lysyl-tRNA synthetase gene homologs in Escherichia coli and other procaryotes.

The lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysRS) system of Escherichia coli K-12 consists of two genes, lysS, which is constitutive, and lysU, which is inducible. It is of importance to know how extensively the two-gene LysRS system is distributed in procaryotes, in particular, among members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. To this end, the enterics E. coli K-12 and B; E. coli reference collection (ECOR) isolates EC2, EC49, EC65, and EC68; Shigella flexneri; Salmonella typhimurium; Klebsiella pneumoniae; Enterobacter aerogenes; Serratia marcescens; and Proteus vulgaris and the nonenterics Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus megaterium were grown in AC broth to a pH of 5.5 or less or cultured in SABO medium at pH 5.0. These growth conditions are known to induce LysRS activity (LysU synthesis) in E. coli K-12. Significant induction of LysRS activity (twofold or better) was observed in the E. coli strains, the ECOR isolates, S. flexneri, K. pneumoniae, and E. aerogenes. To demonstrate an association between LysRS induction and two distinct LysRS genes, Southern blotting was performed with a probe representing an 871-bp fragment amplified from an internal portion of the coding region of the lysU gene. In initial experiments, chromosomal DNA from E. coli K-12 strain MC4100 (lysS+ lysU+) was double digested with either BamHI and HindIII or BamHI and SalI, producing hybridizable fragments of 12.4 and 4.2 kb and 6.6 and 5.2 kb, respectively. Subjecting the chromosomal DNA of E. coli K-12 strain GNB10181 (lysS+ delta lysU) to the same regimen established that the larger fragment from each digestion contained the lysU gene. The results of Southern blot analysis of the other bacterial strains revealed that two hybridizable fragments were obtained from all of the E. coli and ECOR collection strains examined and S. flexneri, K. pneumoniae, and E. aerogenes. Only one lysU homolog was found with S. typhimurium and S. marcescens, and none was obtained with P. vulgaris. A single hybridizable band was found with both P. aeruginose and B, megaterium. These results show that the dual-gene LysRS system is not confined to E. coli K-12 and indicate that it may have first appeared in the genus Enterobacter.

Periodontal disease as reservoir for multi-resistant and hydrolytic enterobacterial species

AIMS: This investigation aimed to isolate enteric rods from subgingival sites of patients presenting chronic periodontitis lesions, and to assess antimicrobial resistance and expression of hydrolytic enzymes. METHODS AND RESULTS: Enterobacteriaceae were isolated from 20% patients, and assayed for antimicrobial susceptibility and hydrolytic enzymes with specificity to different substrates. Isolates comprised seven Enterobacter cloacae (43.75%), five Serratia marcescens (31.25%), one Klebsiella pneumoniae (6.25%), one Enterobacter aerogenes (6.25%), one Pantoea agglomerans (6.25%), and one Citrobacter freundii (6.25%). Gelatinase activity was observed for 75% strains; caseinase and elastase was produced by six and two strains, respectively. DNase, lecithinase and lipase were expressed by S. marcescens. Most of strains were resistant to ampicillin (93.75%) and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (81.25%). The majority of strains were susceptible to cephalosporins and aztreonam. Enterobacteria remained susceptible to imipenem, streptomycin and fluoroquinolones. Resistance to gentamicin, amikacin, sulfamethoxazole/thrimethoprim, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol were also observed. Eight strains presented multiple drug resistance. CONCLUSIONS: Subgingival sites from periodontal diseases contain multi-resistant and hydrolytic enzyme-producing enterobacteria that may contribute to overall tissue destruction and spreading. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Enterobacteria isolated from patients generally considered as healthy individuals poses periodontal diseases as reservoir for systemic infections particularly in immunocompromised and hospitalized hosts.
