Characterization of a Multiresistant Mosaic Plasmid from a Fish Farm Sediment Exiguobacterium sp.Isolate Reveals Aggregation of Functional Clinic-Associated Antibiotic Resistance Genes
The genus Exiguobacterium can adapt readily to, and survive in, diverse environments.Our study demonstrated that Exiguobacterium sp.strain S3-2, isolated from marine sediment, is resistant to five antibiotics.The plasmid pMC1 in this strain carries seven putative resistance genes.We functionally characterized these resistance genes in Escherichia coli, and genes encoding dihydrofolate reductase and macrolide phosphotransferase were considered novel resistance genes based on their low similarities to known resistance genes.
