Characterization of a multiresistance optrA- and lsa(E)-harbouring unconventional circularizable structure in Streptococcus suis.

J Antimicrob Chemother

October 2024

National Key Laboratory of Veterinary Public Health and Safety, College of Veterinary Medicine, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100193, China.

Objectives: To identify novel genetic elements facilitating the horizontal transfer of the oxazolidinone/phenicol resistance gene optrA and the pleuromutilin-lincosamide-streptogramin A resistance gene lsa(E) in Streptococcus suis.

Methods: The complete genomes of S. suis HB18 and two transconjugants were obtained using both the Illumina and Nanopore platforms.

Objectives: To elucidate the mechanism of tigecycline resistance in Escherichia coli that is mediated by the tet(A) variant gene.

Methods: E. coli strain 573 carried a plasmid-borne tet(A) variant gene, tentatively designated tet(A)TIG, that conferred decreased tigecycline susceptibility (MIC 0.

Objectives: To identify the novel genetic elements involved in the horizontal transfer of the oxazolidinone/phenicol resistance gene optrA in Streptococcus suis.

Methods: Whole-genome DNA of the optrA-positive isolate S. suis HN38 was subjected to WGS via both Illumina HiSeq and Oxford Nanopore platforms.

Traditionally, insertion sequences (ISs) play a major role in disseminating antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in bacteria through transposition and translocation, forming regions that contain multiple ARGs flanked by single or multiple copies of IS. In addition, unconventional circularizable structures (UCSs), lacking recombinase genes but being surrounded by directly repeated sequences (DRs) of various sizes which do not contain transposase genes, were reported to be involved in the dissemination of ARGs. In this study, a novel UCS was identified on plasmid pE508-2 in E.

To investigate the contribution of a (A) variant to tigecycline resistance in Enterobacter hormaechei and the recombination events that occurred during transmission of this variant. MICs were determined by broth microdilution. G17 was characterized by PCR, transfer assay, S1-PFGE, Southern blot hybridization, and WGS analysis.
