Two extended-spectrum mutants of the class D beta-lactamase OXA-10 (PSE-2) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates obtained in Ankara, Turkey, were described previously and were designated OXA-11 and -14. P. aeruginosa 906 and 961, isolated at the same hospital, were highly resistant to ceftazidime (MIC >/= 128 microgram/ml) and produced a beta-lactamase with a pI of 6.2. The MICs of ceftriaxone, cefoperazone, cefsulodin, and cefepime were 4- to 16-fold above the typical values for P. aeruginosa, whereas the MICs of penicillins and cefotaxime were raised only marginally. Ceftazidime MICs were not significantly reduced by clavulanate or tazobactam at 4 microgram/ml. Ceftazidime resistance did not transfer conjugatively but was mobilized to P. aeruginosa PU21 by plasmid pUZ8. Both isolates gave similar DNA restriction patterns, suggesting that they were replicates; moreover, they yielded identically sized BamHI fragments that hybridized with a blaOXA-10 probe. DNA sequencing revealed that both isolates had the same new beta-lactamase, designated OXA-16, which differed from OXA-10 in having threonine instead of alanine at position 124 and aspartate instead of glycine at position 157. The latter change is also present in OXA-11 and -14 and seems critical to ceftazidime resistance. Kinetic parameters showed that OXA-16 enzyme was very active against penicillins, cephaloridine, cefotaxime, and ceftriaxone, but hydrolysis of ceftazidime was not detected despite the ability of the enzyme to confer resistance.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
