IS257-mediated amplification of tet(L) variant as a novel mechanism of enhanced tigecycline resistance in Staphylococcus cohnii

Research in Microbiology, 2023
The mechanism of enhanced tigecycline MIC in Staphylococcus cohnii after in vitro tigecycline exposure was investigated. S. cohnii 11-B-312 was exposed to incremental concentrations of tigecycline (2-32 mg/L) and the mutants growing at 8, 16 and 32 mg/L were determined by AST and WGS. Copy number and relative transcription level of the tet(L) gene were

IS257 and Small Plasmid Insertions in the mec Region of the Chromosome of Staphylococcus aureus

Plasmid, 1994
Four copies of the insertion sequence IS257 are found in the mec region of the chromosome of the Australian methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain ANS46, two flanking a merAmerB sequence (encoding resistance to mercurial compounds), the other two flanking an integrated copy of the plasmid pT181 (tetracycline resistance).

IS257 from Staphylococcus aureus: member of an insertion sequence superfamily prevalent among Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria

Gene, 1989
The nucleotide sequences for the IS257 family of insertion sequences from Staphylococcus aureus were compared with those of the ISS1 family from Streptococcus lactis and the IS15 family which is widespread amongst Gram-negative bacteria. These elements have a striking degree of similarity in both their putative transposase polypeptide sequences and ...

The Staphylococcal Insertion Sequence IS257Is Active

Plasmid, 1995
The plasmid pJ3356 confers high-level mupirocin resistance on a strain of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from a hospital. The plasmid also carries two copies of IS257. Recombination of an IS257-containing plasmid conferring erythromycin resistance, pOX7-IS, into either of the IS257s of pJ3356 has been observed.

Integration of pT181-like tetracycline resistance plasmids into large staphylococcal plasmids involves IS257

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1996
Four large staphylococcal plasmids ranging in size from 31 to 82 kbp have been shown to mediate tetracycline resistance via an integrated copy of the tet(K)-encoding plasmid pT181 which was flanked by copies of the insertion element IS257. In two cases, IS257 elements interrupted the repC reading frame of pT181 and an 8-bp sequence from within the repC
