  • Title: Genetic association of blaSHV-5 with transposable elements IS26 and IS5 in Klebsiella pneumoniae from Taiwan.
    Author: Yu WL, Chen SC, Hung SW, Chuang YC, Chung JG, Chen IC, Wu LT.
    Journal: Clin Microbiol Infect; 2006 Aug; 12(8):806-9. PubMed ID: 16842580.
    Abstract:
    A cloned 5,248-bp EcoRI fragment from the Klebsiella pneumoniae transferable plasmid pKP53 (> 70 kb) containing bla(SHV-5) was sequenced. Insertion sequences IS26 and IS5 were found downstream from bla(SHV-5). The DNA sequences of the genetic environment surrounding bla(SHV-5) were homologous to plasmid p1658/97 from Escherichia coli, containing a truncated recF gene and a truncated deoR gene upstream and downstream from bla(SHV-5), respectively. RecF may be involved in bla(SHV-5) translocation to the plasmid by RecF-dependent recombination. This novel genetic environment may be associated with the successful proliferation and/or expression of SHV-5 in K. pneumoniae strains from Taiwan.
