Abstract
Plasmid-mediated resistance to fosfomycin has been seldom described in Proteus mirabilis. We report two strains harboring fosA3 gene. Whole-genome sequencing revealed a plasmid that encoded fosA3 gene flanked by two insertion sequence (IS)26 mobile elements. Both strains also produced the blaCTX-M-65 gene that was located in the same plasmid. The sequence detected was IS1182-blaCTX-M-65-orf1-orf2-IS26-IS26-fosA3-orf1-orf2-orf3-IS26. The importance of this transposon lies in its ability to spread in Enterobacterales, therefore, epidemiological surveillance should be carried out.
期刊介绍：
Microbial Drug Resistance (MDR) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that covers the global spread and threat of multi-drug resistant clones of major pathogens that are widely documented in hospitals and the scientific community. The Journal addresses the serious challenges of trying to decipher the molecular mechanisms of drug resistance. MDR provides a multidisciplinary forum for peer-reviewed original publications as well as topical reviews and special reports.
MDR coverage includes:
Molecular biology of resistance mechanisms
Virulence genes and disease
Molecular epidemiology
Drug design
Infection control.
