ABSTRACT An Escherichia coli strain, HKYM68, which showed resistance to broad-spectrum cephalosporins was isolated from a sputum specimen in Japan. The high-level resistance of the strain to ceftazidime, cefpirome, and moxalactam was carried by a self-transferable plasmid. The β-lactamase gene responsible for the resistance was cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence of this gene product, CMY-9, had a single amino acid substitution (E85D), the residue reported to be part of the recognition site for the R1 side chain of β-lactams, compared with the amino acid sequence of CMY-8 and also had 78% identity with the amino acid sequence of CepH, a chromosomal cephalosporinase of Aeromonas hydrophila. A sul1-type class 1 integron containing an aacA1-orfG gene cassette was identified upstream of bla CMY-9 and ended with a truncated 3′ conserved segment. The following 2.1 kb was almost identical to the common region of integrons In6 and In7 and the integron of pSAL-1, except that orf513 encoding a putative transposase was identified instead of orf341 due to addition of a single nucleotide. bla CMY-9 was closely located downstream of the end of the common region. These observations are indicative of the exogenous derivation of bla CMY-9 from some environmental microorganisms such as aeromonads.

ABSTRACTAn NDM-1 carbapenemase-producingPseudomonas aeruginosaisolate was recovered from a patient hospitalized in France after a previous hospitalization in Serbia. Genetic studies revealed that theblaNDM-1gene was surrounded by insertion sequence ISAba125and a truncated bleomycin resistance gene. ThisblaNDM-1region was a part of the variable region of a new complex class 1 integron bearing IS common region 1 (ISCR1). The presence of ISPa7upstream of this integron suggests insertion in a chromosomally located Tn402-like structure.

The ankle is the most common region of the body to be injured in sport. However, injuries sustained at this site are commonly neglected, resulting in potentially significant long-term functional and structural sequelae.Effective prophylactic strategies to minimize ankle injuries in specific sports should be developed. Addressing modifiable risk factors should be an important aspect of conditioning regimes for most sports, and early recognition and management of injuries is vital for preventing the development of chronic pathology limiting the attainment of an athlete’s full potential....

Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV; family Nanoviridae, genus Babuvirus) is a multi-component, ssDNA virus, which causes widespread banana crop losses throughout tropical Africa and Australasia. We determined the full genome sequences of 12 BBTV isolates from the Kingdom of Tonga and analysed these together with previously determined BBTV sequences to show that reassortment and both inter- and intra-component recombination have all been relatively frequent occurrences during BBTV evolution. We found that whereas DNA-U3 components display evidence of complex inter- and intra-component recombination, all of the South Pacific DNA-R components have a common intra-component recombinant origin spanning the replication-associated protein gene. Altogether, the DNA-U3 and DNA-M components display a greater degree of inter-component recombination than the DNA-R, -S, -C and -M components. The breakpoint distribution of the inter-component recombination events reveals a primary recombination hotspot around the 5′ side of the common region major and, in accordance with recombination hotspots detectable in related ssDNA viruses, a secondary recombination hotspot near the origin of virion-strand replication.

Abstract Amplification of 6p21 has been detected in various solid tumor and hematological neoplasms. These include hepatoma, osteosarcoma, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, and mantle cell lymphoma . However, no candidate target genes in this amplified region have been identified. In diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), no amplification has been reported. Recently, we established genome-wide array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) consisting of 2300 BAC clones that can survey a whole genome at the density of an average size of 1.3 Mb. The array CGH detected amplification at 6p21 in 12 of 70 (24%) DLBCL patients (Tagawa et al., Cancer Res. in press) and one DLBCL cell line, SUDHL-9. We next made high density array glass for 6p21 region with 23 BAC clones covering 3 Mb. We found that the minimal common region of amplification was approximately 2Mb in size. In this region, there are 27 known genes including cyclin D3. The cyclin D3 has been reported to be overexpressed in a case of DLBCL with t(6;14)(p21.1;q32.3). We have analyzed expression level of those genes in the minimal common region of amplification, and found that five genes, BYSL, cyclin D3, TBN, KIAA0240, and TBCC were overexpressed. These results indicate that not only cyclin D3 but also other genes are also possible target genes for the 6p21 amplification.
