Gene Context and DNA rearrangements in the carbapenemase locus of division II strains of Bacteroides fragilis.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 Jun 2009

García Nuria, Gutiérrez Gloria, Lorenzo María, Vadillo Santiago, Píriz Segundo, Quesada Alberto

Abstract excerpt

The cfiA gene is clustered in a bicistronic operon encoding an N-acetyltransferase and an O-acetyltransferase related to resistance markers. This genetic context, exclusively found in strains of Bacteroides fragilis division II, has been highly rearranged by the successive integration of two new mobile sequences, a miniature element and ISBf9. Besides that, among the DNA polymorphisms detected in the cfiA locus,...
