undecaprenol kinase
Overview
Acquired bacitracin resistance in Enterococcus faecalis is mediated by an ABC transporter and a novel regulatory protein, BcrR.
The study identifies the bcrABD operon and the regulatory gene bcrR as essential for acquired bacitracin resistance in Enterococcus faecalis. The bcrABD genes encode a homodimeric ABC transporter that mediates bacitracin efflux, and bcrR acts as a transcriptional activator of this operon.
Characterization of genes encoding for acquired bacitracin resistance in Clostridium perfringens.
The study identifies and characterizes the bcrABDR operon in Clostridium perfringens, which includes genes encoding an ABC transporter (bcrA, bcrB), an undecaprenol kinase (bcrD), and a regulatory gene (bcrR) associated with high-level bacitracin resistance.
Genomic insights into the pathogenicity and environmental adaptability of Enterococcus hirae R17 isolated from pork offered for retail sale.
The study identified multiple antimicrobial resistance genes in Enterococcus hirae R17, including genes conferring resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, lincosamides, streptogramins, pleuromutilins, polymyxins, tetracyclines, and others. Notably, the strain exhibited resistance to bacitracin, ciprofloxacin, daptomycin, erythromycin, and tetracycline.
Agricultural Origins of a Highly Persistent Lineage of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis in New Zealand.
The study identifies the ST108 lineage of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis as having an agricultural origin, with multiple resistance genes including vanA, ermB, tetL, tetM, and bcr operon components contributing to its persistence in New Zealand.
Longitudinal study on the effects of growth-promoting and therapeutic antibiotics on the dynamics of chicken cloacal and litter microbiomes and resistomes.
The study identified various AMR genes in chicken microbiomes, including bacitracin resistance genes (bacA, uppP), fluoroquinolone resistance genes (cmeA, cmeB, cmeC, cmeR), and β-lactam resistance gene blaOXA-61. These genes were found in Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcaceae, and Campylobacteriaceae, highlighting the complex resistome dynamics influenced by antibiotic usage.
