-lactamases of R factors derived from Shigella and Salmonella strains. 1971

P H Jenkins, and W T Drabble

R. factors conferring resistance to penicillins and cephalosporins were transferred by conjugation from six strains of Shigella and from four strains of Salmonella typhimurium to a standard strain of S. typhimurium LT2. The beta-lactamases produced were then characterized by using cell-free extracts. The enzymes were of two types, I and II, with respect to specific activity against benzyl penicillin, substrate profile, K(m), pH optimum, temperature optimum, inhibition by chloride and nitrate ions, and heat inactivation. The six type I enzymes were associated with R factors from Shigella strains; five of these were R(f) factors. The four type II enzymes were associated with R factors from S. typhimurium; all these were R(i) factors.

D010406 Penicillins A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics.

D003227 Conjugation, Genetic A parasexual process in BACTERIA; ALGAE; FUNGI; and ciliate EUKARYOTA for achieving exchange of chromosome material during fusion of two cells. In bacteria, this is a uni-directional transfer of genetic material; in protozoa it is a bi-directional exchange. In algae and fungi, it is a form of sexual reproduction, with the union of male and female gametes. Bacterial Conjugation,Conjugation, Bacterial,Genetic Conjugation
