The usage and misusage of antibiotics in poultry, food-producing animals and human diseases have led to transmission of conjugative plasmids carrying antibiotic resistance genes from one microorganism to another, especially to the pathogenic bacteria. Multi-drug resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis, an emerging serotype in poultry, has been spreading all around the world in a decade. Moreover, commensal microorganisms such as commensal Escherichia coli in the gut microbiota, functioning as a reservoir of antimicrobial resistance, of the warm-blooded hosts acquire antibiotic resistance by plasmid from Salmonella enterica serovars. The aim of this study was to identify the conjugative transfer of plasmids including multi-drug resistance genes from Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis to commensal susceptible E. coli in both of phenotypic and genotypic level. Salmonella Infantis isolates with different antibiotic resistance profiles involving streptomycin, sulfisoxazole, ampicillin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, kanamycin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, cephalotin, nalidixic acid and tetracycline were selected as donor bacteria (n=10), while susceptible non-pathogenic E. coli isolate was used as a recipient. Applying filter paper mating procedure was used for conjugation. Transconjugant E. coli colonies were screened by phenotypic and genotypic methods. First, yellow colonies representing transconjugant E. coli colonies were determined on the selective XLD agar containing 10 μg/ml tetracycline in phenotypic level. After that, conjugation genes (i.e., traA, traE, traL, traJ, traG, traH, traI, traM, traR, traY, rfaG, rfaI, rfaJ, rfaL and rfbP), and the incompatibility group of plasmids were screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in genotypic level. This study contributes to recent and further studies related to the conjugative transmission of antibiotic resistance genes in Salmonella and E. coli, which is an arising serious problem worldwide.

Conjugative transfer of antibiotic resistance genes from salmonella enterica serovar infantis to escherichia coli Cesur, Aylin; Soyer, Yeşim; Department of Food Engineering (2018) The usage and misusage of antibiotics in poultry, food-producing animals and human diseases have led to transmission of conjugative plasmids carrying antibiotic resistance genes from one microorganism to another, especially to the pathogenic bacteria. Multi-drug resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis, an emerging serotype in poultry, has been spreading all around the world in a decade.

Molecular evaluation and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of escherichia coli isolates collected from various food products in Turkey/ Kyere, Emmanuel Owusu; Soyer, Yeşim; Avşaroğlu, Dilek; Department of Biotechnology (2014) Even though Escherichia coli (E. coli) is part of the intestinal microflora of healthy human beings and warm blooded animals, some strains of E. coli can be important food borne pathogens that can cause a wide spectrum of diseases, ranging from self-limiting to life threatening intestinal and extra-intestinal illnesses. Pathogenic E. coli that affect the intestines of humans have been grouped into six main pathotypes: Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli (STEC); of which enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) is a path...
Reconstruction of the temporal signaling network in salmonella infected human cells Budak, Güngör; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Tunçbağ, Nurcan; Department of Bioinformatics (2016) Salmonella enterica is a bacterial pathogen whose mechanism of infection is usually through food sources. The pathogen proteins are translocated into the host cells to change the host signaling mechanisms either by activating or inhibiting the host proteins. In order to obtain a more complete view of the biological processes and the signaling networks and to reconstruct the temporal signaling network of the human host, we have used two network modeling approaches, the Prize-collecting Steiner Forest (PCSF) ...
Discovery of non-carbohydrate inhibitors of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes Welch, KT; Virga, KG; Whittemore, NA; Özen, Can; Wright, E; Brown, CL; Lee, RE; Serpersu, EH (2005-11-15) Chemical modification and inactivation of aminoglycosides by many different enzymes expressed in pathogenic bacteria are the main mechanisms of bacterial resistance to these antibiotics. In this work, we designed inhibitors that contain the 1,3-diamine pharmacophore shared by all aminoglycoside antibiotics that contain the 2-deoxystreptamine ring. A discovery library of molecules was prepared by attaching different side chains to both sides of the 1,3-diamine motif. Several of these diamines showed inhibito...
Immunotherapeutic applications of CpG-containing oligodeoxynucleotides Klinman, DM; Ishii, KJ; Gürsel, Mayda; Gursel, I; Takeshita, S; Takeshita, F (2000-06-01) Bacterial DNA and synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) expressing unmethylated CpG motifs stimulate the mammalian immune system to mount a rapid innate immune response. This response is characterized by the production of polyreactive IgM, immunomodulatory cytokines and chemokines. CpG ODN directly stimulate lymphocytes, natural killer cells and professional antigen-presenting cells (such as macrophages and dendritic cells). Owing to the strength and nature of this stimulation, CpG ODN are being harnessed f...
