Molecular Characterization and Comparative Genomics of IncQ-3 Plasmids Conferring Resistance to Various Antibiotics Isolated from a Wastewater Treatment Plant in Warsaw (Poland)

Antibiotics, 2020
As small, mobilizable replicons with a broad host range, IncQ plasmids are widely distributed among clinical and environmental bacteria. They carry antibiotic resistance genes, and it has been shown that they confer resistance to β-lactams ...

Transformation of the Methylotrophic Actinomycete Amycolatopis methanolica with Plasmid DNA: Stimulatory Effect of a pMEA300-Encoded Gene [PDF]

, 1995
Amycolatopsis methanolica contains a 13.29-kb plasmid (pMEA300) present both in the free state and integrated at a unique genomic location. A pMEA300-free derivative (strain WV1) was selected, allowing further analysis of pMEA300-encoded functions. Whole

Detecting plasmid-mediated dissemination of blaKPC-3 and blaOXA-48-like genes in Enterobacterales across Finnish healthcare organizations using hybrid genome assembly

Frontiers in Microbiology
The spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is a global concern. While the majority of the CPE outbreaks are due to clonal spread, recent findings highlight the transmission of carbapenemase gene-carrying plasmids across various ...

Carbapenemases: Transforming Acinetobacter baumannii into a Yet More Dangerous Menace

Biomolecules, 2020
Acinetobacter baumannii is a common cause of serious nosocomial infections. Although community-acquired infections are observed, the vast majority occur in people with preexisting comorbidities. A. baumannii emerged as a problematic pathogen in the 1980s

Enhancing student understanding of genetic cloning through a 3D-printed active learning activity and flipped classroom curriculum

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education
This classroom curriculum is designed to teach the topic of cloning in both small- and large-enrollment undergraduate general microbiology courses. Students often struggle to grasp and visualize genetic engineering or cloning, in which a piece of DNA is ...

Draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas moraviensis R28-S [PDF]

, 2014
We report the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas moraviensis R28-S, isolated from the municipal wastewater treatment plant of Moscow, ID. The strain carries a native mercury resistance plasmid, poorly maintains introduced IncP-1 antibiotic resistance ...

Characterization of a novel Phietavirus genus bacteriophage and its potential for efficient transfer of modified shuttle plasmids to Staphylococcus aureus strains of different clonal complexes

Microbiology Spectrum
Staphylococcus aureus is a significant human pathogen responsible for various nosocomial and community-acquired infections, leading to considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. Temperate bacteriophages contribute to its virulence and facilitate the

KPC-2-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae of the Uncommon ST29 Type Carrying OXA-926, a Novel Narrow-Spectrum OXA β-Lactamase

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
We isolated and characterized a carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) clinical strain from blood carrying a novel blaOXA gene, blaOXA–926, and belonging to ST29, an uncommon CRKP type. The strain, 130002, was genome sequenced using both short-

Genetic Insights on Meropenem Resistance Concerning Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolates

Life
The transferable genetic elements are associated with the dissemination of virulence determinants amongst Klebsiella pneumoniae. Thus, we assessed the correlated antimicrobial resistance in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates ...
