aminoglycoside adenyltransferase
Overview
Molecular characterization of multidrug resistant hospital isolates using the antimicrobial resistance determinant microarray.
The study characterized various AMR genes in multidrug-resistant hospital isolates using the Antimicrobial Resistance Determinant Microarray (ARDM). Key findings include the detection of beta-lactamase genes (bla TEM, bla SHV, bla CTX-M, bla OXA), aminoglycoside resistance genes (aadA1, aadA2, aph3'/str(A), aph6/str(B), aac(3)-III, aac(6')-Ib), tetracycline resistance genes (tet(A), tet(B), tet(D), tet(39)), sulfonamide resistance genes (sulI, sulII), trimethoprim resistance genes (dfrA1, dfrA10, dfrA14, dfrA17), quaternary amine resistance gene (qacEΔ1), chloramphenicol resistance genes (catA1, cat4), and glycopeptide resistance genes (vanB, vanB2).
Low temperatures do not impair the bacterial plasmid conjugation on poultry meat.
The study demonstrates that non-pathogenic E. coli can acquire an IncB/O-plasmid carrying multiple antimicrobial resistance genes through conjugation on poultry meat, even at low temperatures. This highlights the potential risk of antimicrobial resistance spread through food products.
