The putative beta-lactamase (Bla) repressor gene, blaI, from the staphylococcal plasmid pI524 was isolated, and the DNA sequence was determined. The sequence of blaI was found to be identical to the blaI sequence from pI9789 (blaI blaZ seg-1), a plasmid related to pI524. A blaI probe from pI524 was hybridized with plasmid and genomic DNA from Bla+ Enterococcus faecalis isolates HH22 and PA. The Bla structural gene of HH22 has been previously shown to be of staphylococcal origin, but DNA homologo ...[more]
