肺炎克雷伯菌临床分离株中出现16S rRNA甲基化酶基因rmtB

目的 了解临床分离肺炎克雷伯菌中16S rRNA甲基化酶基因、氨基糖苷类修饰酶(AMEs)基因存在状况及其遗传学背景.方法 在2005年9月至2006年4月间从住院患者中分离25株肺炎克雷伯菌,采用聚合酶链反应及序列分析的方法分析6种16S rRNA甲基化酶基因(armA、rmtA、rmtB、rmtC、rmtD和npmA)、6种AMEs基因[aac(3)-Ⅰ、aac(3)-Ⅱ、aac(6')-Ⅰ、aac(6')-Ⅱ、ant(3")-Ⅰ、ant(2")-Ⅰ]、3类整合子(Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ类)遗传标记整合酶基因(intI1、intI2、intI3)、汞离子还原酶基因merA(为转座子Tn21和Tn501共同的遗传标记)、tnpA基凶(为转座子Tn1、Tn2、Tn3和Tn1000共同的遗传标记).结果 25株中,有5种基因rmtB、aac(3)-Ⅱ、aac(6')-Ⅰ、ant(3")-Ⅰ、intI1阳性,阳性株数(%)分别为15株(60.0%)、1株(4.0%)、12株(48.0%)、15株(60.0%)、24株(96.0%),其余12种基因均阴性;6种AMEs基因总阳性率为84.0%(21/25).结论临床分离的肺炎克雷伯菌中rmtB基因和AMEs基因阳性率均较高,在肺炎克雷伯菌中检出rmtB基因为中国大陆地区首次报道.

Emergence of 16S rRNA methylase gene rmtB in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from the inpatients in Zhejiang province, China

Objective To investigate the presence and genetic background of 16S rRNA methylase gene and Aminoglycoside modifying enzymes(AMEs) genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from the People's Liberation Army 98th HospitaI,Huzhou district,Zhejiang province,China.Methods 25 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated from the inpatienta between September,2005 and April,2006.6 kinds of 16S rRNA methylase gene (including armA,rmtA,rmtB,rmtC,rmtD and npmA ),6 kinds of AMEs genes [ including aac (3)-Ⅰ,sac (3)-Ⅱ,sac (6')-Ⅰ,aac (6')-Ⅱ,ant (3")-Ⅰand ant(2")-Ⅰ],intI1,intI2,intI3,mercuric reductase gene merA (merA gene were the collective genetic markers of transposona of Tn21 and Tn501 ) and tnpA ( tnpA gene were the collective genetic markers of transposons of Tn1,Tn2,Tn3 and Tn1000) were analyzed by PCR and verificated by DNA sequencing.Results In 25 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae,the positive rate of genes of rmtB,sac (3)-Ⅱ,sac (6')-Ⅰ,ant(3")-Ⅰ and intI1 were 60.0%(15/25),4.0%(1/25),48.0%(12/25),60.0%(15/25) and 96.0%(24/25),respectively.The rest 12 kinds of genes were all tested negative.The total positive rate of 6 kinds of AMEs gene was 84.0%(21/25).Conclusion There were very high positive rate on both genes of rmtB and AMEs genotypes in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from inpatients,and this was the first report of the emergence of 16S rRNA methylase gene rmtB in Klebsiella pneumoniae identified in Zhejiang province,China.
