“…Six of the strains were classified as CRKP, all of which carried 11 drug resistance genes: oqxB, oqxA, fosA6, aac(3)-lld, blaSHV-28, blaKPC-2, blaOXA-1, mph(A), tet(A), catB3 and aac(6′)-lb-cr, mediating drug resistance to quinolones, fosfomycin, aminoglycosides, β-lactam, carbapenems, macrolides and chloramphenicol, belonging to multi-drug resistant bacteria. The carbapenem-resistant plasmid p2-KP3762–1 was found to transfer within species, from CRKP to hypervirulent KPRJF293HA, carbapenem-sensitive KP KP3657 and Escherichia coli C600 at a frequency of (1.19 ± 1.58) ×10−6, (1.09 ± 1.38) ×10−7 and (10.9 ± 9.53) ×10−6 respectively, resulting in the dissemination of carbapenem resistance genes. …”

Reinvestigation into the role of lipopolysaccharide Glycosyltransferases in Helicobacter pylori protein glycosylation by Hong Li, Xiaoqiong Tang, Tiandi Yang, Tingting Liao, Aleksandra W. Debowski, Tiankuo Yang, Yalin Shen, Hans-Olof Nilsson, Stuart M. Haslam, Barbara Mulloy, Anne Dell, Keith A. Stubbs, Wolfgang Fischer, Rainer Haas, Hong Tang, Barry J. Marshall, Mohammed Benghezal

“…As LPS is a unique component of virtually all Gram-negative bacteria, our data suggest that when observing protein electrophoretic mobility shifts between wild-type and LPS mutant strains or between subcellular fractionation samples, the influence of LPS on protein electrophoretic migration should be considered first, rather than interpreting it as potential protein glycosylation that is dependent upon LPS biosynthetic pathway.…”
