A novel transposon, Tn6009, composed of a Tn916 element linked with a Staphylococcus aureus mer operon.
The study identifies a novel transposon, Tn6009, which contains the tet(M) gene linked to the Staphylococcus aureus mer operon, conferring resistance to tetracycline and mercury.
Complete nucleotide sequence and analysis of two conjugative broad host range plasmids from a marine microbial biofilm.
The study identifies mercury resistance genes (merA, merB, merD) and a multi-drug efflux system (mexE-mexF) encoded on the marine plasmids pMCBF1 and pMCBF6. Experimental validation confirmed that these genes contribute to mercury resistance and potential multi-drug resistance.
Insight into the mobilome of Aeromonas strains.
The study characterizes various antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) in Aeromonas strains, highlighting the presence of beta-lactamases, aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes, tetracycline resistance genes, and others. These genes are often located on plasmids and contribute to multidrug resistance.
Study of pandrug and heavy metal resistance among E. coli from anthropogenically influenced Delhi stretch of river Yamuna.
The study identifies two variants of the blaTEM gene (blaTEM-1 and blaTEM-116) and mer operon genes (merB, merP, and merT) in the pandrug-resistant E. coli isolate MRC11, which contribute to resistance against beta-lactam antibiotics and mercury.
Bacterial isolates harboring antibiotics and heavy-metal resistance genes co-existing with mobile genetic elements in natural aquatic water bodies.
The study identified blaTEM, AmpC, qnrS, merB, merP, merT, silE, silP, silS, arsC, IntI, SulI, ISecp1, TN3, and TN21 as significant AMR genes in bacterial isolates from Dal and Wular Lakes in Kashmir, India. These genes were found to confer resistance to various antibiotics and heavy metals, highlighting the co-existence of antibiotic and metal resistance determinants in aquatic environments.
Plasmid-Mediated Ampicillin, Quinolone, and Heavy Metal Co-Resistance among ESBL-Producing Isolates from the Yamuna River, New Delhi, India.
The study identified plasmid-mediated resistance genes bla CMY-2, bla CMY-42, qnrS, merB, merP, merT, and arsC in ESBL-producing isolates from the Yamuna River, indicating co-resistance to antibiotics and heavy metals.
The Plasmidomic Landscape of Clinical Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Malaysia.
The study identified various plasmid-borne antimicrobial resistance genes in Malaysian MRSA isolates, including ermC, cat, tetK, tetL, aadD, aac(6')-Ie-aph(2")-Ia, lnuA, cadAC, cadDX, copB, mco, arsB, arsC, and qacA, contributing to multidrug resistance.
Shotgun Metagenomics-Guided Prediction Reveals the Metal Tolerance and Antibiotic Resistance of Microbes in Poly-Extreme Environments in the Danakil Depression, Afar Region.
The study identified numerous antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and metal resistance genes (MRGs) in the metagenomes of Lake Afdera and the Assale salt plain in the Danakil Depression. Key ARGs included beta-lactamases (ACC-1, OXA-58, OXA-363, OXA-212, NDM-17, OXA-134, ACT-29, LRA-19), efflux pumps (emrB, abeM, abeS, mgrA, adeJ, MexC, adeL, adeH), sulfonamide resistance genes (sul1, sul2), tetracycline resistance genes (tet39, tetX, tetK), and others. MRGs included copper resistance genes (copC, copD), cadmium resistance gene (cadD), mercury resistance gene (merA), chromate resistance genes (chrB, chrA), nickel-cobalt-cadmium resistance genes (nccA, nccB), cobalt-zinc-cadmium resistance gene (czcD), arsenic resistance gene (arsO), lead resistance gene (pbrA), and mercury resistance genes (merB, merR, MIR).
