海藻希瓦菌中发现一种新的qnrA7基因亚型

目的 研究海藻希瓦菌中质粒介导的喹诺酮类耐药基因的分布和特性.方法 PCR检测qnr、qepA、aac(6')Ib-cr基因,阳性产物进行DNA测序以确定其基因型,接合转移试验探讨质粒介导的喹诺酮类耐药基因的体外转移性,E-test法测定菌株MIC,提取质粒对qnrA基因进行初步定位.结果 海藻希瓦菌中检出qnrA基因,为新发现的亚型,命名为qnrA7,GenBank登录号为GQ463707,未检出qnrB、qnrS、qnrC、qnrD、qepA、aac(6')-Ib-cr基因;qnrA7位于约33 kb的质粒上,但体外接合转移试验未成功;该菌对喹诺酮类药物敏感.结论 海藻希瓦菌质粒上检出新的qnrA基因亚型,其作为qnr基因的环境宿主值得关注.

Detection of a new qnrA7 genotypes in Shewanella algae

Objective To research the distribution and the characteristics of the plasmid mediated quinolone resistant genes in Shewanella algae. Methods The qnr, qepA, aac(6')-Ib-cr genes were amplified by PCR, then the positive PCR products were sequenced to determine the gene type. The transferability of plasmid mediated quinolone resistance was ensured by conjugation experiment. MICs were measured by E-test. qnrA gene was mapped to plasmids to locate it. Results The qnrA gene were detected in the Shewanella algae, this is a newfound subgroup qnrA7, the GenBank accession no. was GQ463707, qnrB, qnrS,qnrC, qnrD, qepA and aac(6')-Ib-cr genes were not detected. qnrA7 reside in a plasmid about 33 kb, conjugation experiment was unsuccessful. The strain was susceptible to quinolones. Conclusion It deserves paying close attention to the report of an original qnrA subgroup in an isolate of water-borne species of Shewanella algae.
