鼠伤寒沙门菌耐药株拓扑异构酶基因突变分析

目的　探讨鼠伤寒沙门菌对氟喹诺酮类药物的耐药性与拓扑异构酶基因突变之间的关系。方法　三株鼠伤寒沙门菌分离株X2 ,X7,X11对氟喹诺酮类药物环丙沙星的MIC分别为 32、0 38和 0 0 2 3μg ml,X2为耐药株。利用聚合酶链反应 (PCR)对其拓扑异构酶四个耐药基因gyrA ,gyrB ,parC ,和parE进行扩增和序列分析。结果　发现分离株X2的gyrA基因同时在 2 4 8、2 5 9位点发生点突变 (Ser83→Phe ,Asp87→Asn)。分离株X7gyrA基因在 2 4 8位点发生点突变 (Ser83→Tyr)。分离株X11的gyrA基因没有发生突变。X2parC基因QRDR在 2 38位点发生点突变 (Ser80→Arg)。而分离株X7、X11的parC基因没有发生突变。三株鼠伤寒沙门菌分离株的gyrB和parE基因都没有发现突变。结论　gyrA和parC上同时发生突变会导致鼠伤寒沙门菌对环丙沙星的高耐药性

Fluoroquinolone resistance mutations in topisomerase genes of Salmonella typhimurium isolates

OBJECTIVE: Mutations in topoisomerase genes were main cause of the resistence of Salmonella typhimurium to fluoroquinolone. METHODS: The MICs of three Salmonella typhimurium isolates X2, X7, X11 to ciprofloxacin were above 32 microg/ml, 0.38 microg/ml and 0.023 microg/ml, respectively. The genetic alterations in four topoisomerase genes, gyrA, gyrB, parC, and parE were detected by multiplex PCR amplimer conformation analysis in these three strains. RESULTS: X2 isolate showed both gyrA mutations (Ser83-->Phe, Asp87-->Asn) and parC mutation (Ser80-->Arg). X7 isolate showed a single gyrA mutation (Ser83-->Phe) and X11 isolate had no changes in all of the four quinolone resistance genes, gyrA, gyrB, parC, and parE. X7 isolate with a single gyrA mutation was less resistant to ciprofloxacin than X2 with double gyrA mutations and an additional parC mutation. CONCLUSION: GyrA and parC genes play important role of the resistance of Salmonella typhimurium to ciprofloxacin.
