The spread of orf513-bearing class 1 integrons is associated with bla(CTX-M-2) in gram-negative clinical isolates in Argentina, with In35 being the most frequently found integron (74%). Among 65 isolates without bla(CTX-M-2), only one harbored a novel orf513-bearing class 1 integron with the dfrA3b gene. The finding of orf513 not associated with class 1 integrons in two gram-positive strains indicates the widespread occurrence of this putative site-specific recombinase.

Characterisation of CTX-M and AmpC genes in human isolates of Escherichia coli identified between 1995 and 2003 in England and Wales.

CTX-M and AmpC genes in human isolates of Escherichia coli, their genetic environment and their host plasmids were examined. Isolates (n=103) were selected based on resistance (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)> or =1 microg/mL) to ceftriaxone and cefotaxime. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing identified 29 isolates containing bla(CTX-M-15), 1 each of bla(CTX-M-2) (a strain originating from Israel) and bla(CTX-M-40), 20 isolates containing bla(CMY-7), 4 bla(CMY-2) and 1 bla(CMY-21).

A ca. 150-kbp Vibrio cholerae O1 biotype El Tor plasmid includes bla(CTX-M-2) and a variant of aac(6')-Ib within InV117, an orf513-bearing class 1 integron. InV117 is linked to a tnp1696 module in which IRl carries an insertion of IS4321R.

Objectives: The dispersion of a clone, a plasmid or a mobile element carrying the bla(CTX-M-9) gene was evaluated in 30 Escherichia coli strains isolated in Barcelona between 1996 and 1999. The presence of the previously described orf513-bearing class 1 integron, In60, carrying the bla(CTX-M-9) gene, was also studied.
Methods: The clonality was analysed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
