Abstract:ObjectiveTo study plasmidmediated transfer, plasmid replicon typing, and genetic environment of blaNDM1 gene in Enterobacter aerogenes(E. aerogenes).MethodsE. aerogenes HNNDM0711 was used as the subject of this research, the transferable properties of plasmid were analyzed by conjugation testing, conjugant was performed stability testing, plasmid type was determined by PCRbased replicon typing (PBRT), downstream and upstream of blaNDM1 were sequenced using chromosome walking method, genetic context was analyzed by BLASTN and BALSTP, as well as annotated using Vector NTI 11.5.1 software, sequence pipeline graph was made, the sequence was submitted to Genbank through software Banklt.ResultsThe conjugation testing of E. aerogenes pHNNDM0711 was positive, after positive conjugant was conducted 4day passage, minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of imipenem and meropenem to all the cloned strains didn’t change, blaNDM1 were all positive. The replicon type was IncA/C; blaNDM1 gene was localized between ISAba14 and IS91, at upstream of the blaNDM1, class 1 integron and Tn3 transposon were identified, class 1 integron contained a new mosaic structure of a drugresistant resistance gene cassette.ConclusionE. aerogenes pHNNDM0711, bearing blaNDM1 gene in IncA/C plasmid, derived from gene recombination under different antimicrobial selection pressure. Antimicrobial use in clinical, industrial and agricultural area should be strictly controlled, so as to reduce the emergence of such bacteria.
