New trimethoprim-resistant dihydrofolate reductase cassette, dfrXV, inserted in a class 1 integron.


ABSTRACT: The nucleotide sequence of a plasmid-borne trimethoprim resistance gene from a commensal fecal Escherichia coli isolate revealed a new dihydrofolate reductase gene, dfrXV, which occurred as a gene cassette integrated in a site-specific manner in a class 1 integron. The new gene shows 84% nucleotide identity and the predicted protein shows 90% amino acid identity with dfrI and DHFR type I, respectively. Genes for spectinomycin resistance, aadA1 [ant (3")-Ia], and sulfonamide resistance, sulI, were located downstream of dfrXV in a manner identical to that in pLMO229.
