概括
这项研究研究了对线化物耐药的Enterococcus faecalis菌株,发现 optrA基因是主要的耐药机制. 像IS1216E这样的移动遗传元素促进了toprA,erm(A和fexA基因的水平转移,影响了细菌感染控制.
科学领域:
- 微生物学 微生物学
- 分子流行病学分子流行病学
- 抗微生物耐药性 抗微生物耐药性
背景情况:
- 临床耐药性细菌感染对全球健康构成重大威胁.
- 在Enterococcus faecalis中耐利尼索利德耐药性是一个日益关注的问题,需要了解其遗传基础.
- 已确定 optrA 基因是对像linezolid 这样的 oxazolidinones 耐药性的关键决定因素.
研究的目的:
- 为了阐明携带 optrA 的耐线化物抗 Enterococcus faecalis (LREfs) 菌株的分子流行病学.
- 在临床隔离物中研究 optrA 基因的水平转移机制.
- 为治疗,预防和控制耐药细菌感染提供基础.
主要方法:
- 使用矩阵辅助激光吸附/电离飞行时间质谱法 (MALDI-TOF MS) 识别LREfs菌株.
- 使用聚合酶链反应 (PCR) 分析基因存在 (optrA,cfr,poxtA) 和23SrRNA突变.
- 全基因组测序 (WGS) 和结合实验,以确定 optrA 基因的可转移性和机制.
主要成果:
- 在39个多药耐药的LREfs菌株中,有30个 (76.9%) 携带了 optrA 基因;cfr,poxtA 和 23S rRNA 突变不存在.
- 结合实验表明,在十种测试的菌株中,有三种成功地水平转移了 optrA 基因.
- 在可转移片段 (IS1216E-erm(A) -optrA-fexA-IS1216E) 中发现了 optrA 基因,该片段由移动遗传元件 IS1216E 中介.
结论:
- 该 optrA 基因是研究 Enterococcus faecalis 菌株中线索立德耐药性的主要机制.
- 移动遗传元素,特别是IS1216E,在 optrA 的水平转移中起着至关重要的作用,可能会共同转移 erm(A) 和 fexA 基因.
- 了解这些转移机制对于制定打击抗菌素耐药性传播的策略至关重要.

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms
27.1K
Genetic transfer occurs when genetic information is passed from one organism to another. It occurs via two mechanisms: vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer. Vertical gene transfer occurs when genetic information is transferred from one generation to the next, which happens much more frequently than horizontal gene transfer. Both sexual and asexual reproduction are forms of vertical gene transfer, where one or more organisms pass some or all of their genome onto their progeny.

Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes
7.9K
While every living organism has a genome of some kind (be it RNA, or DNA), there is considerable variation in the sizes of these blueprints. One major factor that impacts genome size is whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. In prokaryotes, the genome contains little to no non-coding sequence, such that genes are tightly clustered in groups or operons sequentially along the chromosome. Conversely, the genes in eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of non-coding sequence.
