摘要:

为研究β-内酰胺酶耐药基因blaOKP进化及其侧翼序列情况,本文通过全基因组测序技术对肺炎克雷伯氏菌进行测定,分析了其中blaOKP基因及其侧翼序列的特征,同时与不同亚型的blaSHV侧翼序列进行了对比。研究发现,blaOKPblaSHV基因进化差异明显,分为两个进化支,其中blaOKP分为两个进化亚组(blaOKP-AblaOKP-B)。侧翼序列分析结果表明,blaOKP基因的侧翼序列中无可移动遗传元件,与染色体介导的基因blaSHV的侧翼序列结构相似,但存在差异,主要表现为blaOKP基因的一侧与KdpC相连,blaSHV基因的一侧与RecF相连并具有ygbN-ygbM-ygbK结构。同时由质粒介导的blaSHV基因的两侧存在多种可移动遗传元件。这些结构差异可能是导致blaOKP耐药基因进化缓慢的原因之一。本研究通过对blaOKP基因及其侧翼序列特征进行研究, 研究发现blaOKP基因及其侧翼序列结构保守是其相对blaSHV基因进化速度缓慢的重要原因。

Abstract:

blaOKP genes are chromosomally encoded beta-lactamases that mediate several classes of antibiotics resistance. To investigate the evolution and flanking sequences of OKP beta-lactamase gene, the gene blaOKP and its flanking sequences from a newly isolated Klebsiella pneumoniae were studied using whole genome sequencing. The flanking sequences of different variant blaOKP genes and blaSHV, another plasmid-encoded beta-lactamase gene, were then compared. These studies show that the blaOKP and blaSHV genes evolve differently and belong to two different evolution branches. The blaOKP gene variants can be divided into subgroups: blaOKP-A and blaOKP-B. Although both blaOKP and blaSHV genes have no mobile genetic elements in their flanking sequences, their genetic environments are quite different. The blaOKP gene is adjacent to KdpC while blaSHV gene is flanked by RecF and ygbN-ygbM-ygbK. Furthermore, there are a variety of mobile genetic elements in the neighboring sequence plasmid-encoded blaSHV genes that are absent in blaOKP genes. These structural differences may slow the evolution of blaOKP gene. Collectively, we demonstrate that the evolution and flanking sequence of blaOKP gene are different from those of the blaSHV gene, which could be an important reason for its relatively slow evolution.
