ABSTRACT Laribacter hongkongensis, a newly discovered bacterium recently shown to be associated with community-acquired gastroenteritis, is generally resistant to most β-lactams except the carbapenems. We describe the cloning and characterization of a novel chromosomal class C β-lactamase and its regulatory gene in L. hongkongensis. Two genes, ampC and ampR, were cloned by inserting restriction fragments of genomic DNA from L. hongkongensis strain HLHK5 into pBK-CMV to give the recombinant plasmid pBK-LHK-5. The ampR and ampC genes and their promoters were divergently oriented, with the ampR gene immediately upstream of the ampC gene and an intercistronic Lys-R motif, typical of inducible ampC-ampR regulatory systems. The deduced amino acid sequence of the cloned AmpC β-lactamase (pI 8.1) contained consensus motifs characteristic of class C β-lactamases but had identities no greater than 46% to known class C β-lactamases. The kinetic properties of this AmpC were also compatible with those of a class C β-lactamase. PCR of 20 clinical isolates of L. hongkongensis, including HLHK5, showed the presence of both ampC and ampR genes in all isolates. Southern hybridization suggested that the ampC gene of HLHK5 was chromosomally encoded. Subcloning experiments showed that the expression of the ampC gene of HLHK5 was regulated by its ampR gene, which acts as a repressor. The β-lactamase characterized from strain HLHK5 was named LHK-5 (gene, bla LHK-5) and represents the first example of AmpC β-lactamase in the β subdivision of proteobacteria.

Abstract In Brassica species that exhibit self-incompatibility, two genes, SLG and SRK, at the S locus are involved in the recognition reaction with self and non-self pollen. From a pollen-recessive S29 haplotype of Brassica rapa, both cDNA and genomic DNA clones for these two genes were isolated and characterized. The nucleotide sequence for the S domain of SRK29 showed a high degree of similarity with that of SLG29, and they belong to Class II type. RNA gel blot analysis showed that the transcript of SLG29 consisted of the first and second exons, and no other transcript containing any part of the intron sequence was detected. Because no transmembrane domain was encoded by the second exon of SLG29, SLG29 was designated a secreted type glycoprotein. SLGs of two other pollen-recessive haplotypes, S40 and S44, of B. rapa also had a similar structure to that of SLG29. Previously, SLG2 from a pollen-recessive haplotype, S2, of Brassica oleracea was found to produce two different transcripts, one for the secreted type glycoprotein and the other for a putative membrane-anchored form of SLG. Therefore, the nature of these SLGs from pollen-recessive haplotypes of B. rapa is different from that of SLG2 of B. oleracea.

Mode Of Development

Clarithromycin-susceptible and clarithromycin-resistantHelicobacter pylori isolates from the same patient were investigated for the mode of development and mechanism of clarithromycin resistance. The clarithromycin-resistant strain UA1182 harbors homozygous A-to-G mutations at position 2143 in both copies of the 23S rRNA gene and has a phenotype of resistance to clarithromycin and clindamycin but no significant resistance to streptogramin B. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns of NruI- andNotI-digested genomic DNA from the Clas and Clar isolates demonstrated that they are genetically distinct, suggesting that the development of clarithromycin resistance is not from the mutation of the existing Clas strain but from a completely new strain.
