Abstract:
:PCR was used to amplify a 238-bp region from Helicobacter pylori which corresponded to the quinolone resistance-determining region in Escherichia coli. The gyrA gene of H. pylori was cloned and sequenced. An open reading frame of 2,478 nucleotides coded for a polypeptide of 826 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 92,508 Da. The amino acid sequence showed an overall 52% identity with other bacterial gyrA genes but was most closely related to the gyrA subunit of Campylobacter jejuni (76.5% identity). Sequencing of the amplification product from ciprofloxacin-resistant mutants of H. pylori revealed four classes of mutations with substitutions at amino acid 87 (Asn-->Lys), amino acid 88 (Ala-->Val), and amino acid 91 (Asp-->Gly, -->Asn, or -->Tyr) and a double substitution at amino acids 91 and 97 (Ala-->Val). Ciprofloxacin-susceptible strains of H. pylori could be transformed to ciprofloxacin resistance by using the amplified fragment from resistant strains as donor DNA. Of the 11 ciprofloxacin-resistant mutants examined, only one did not have an alteration within the quinolone resistance-determining region, suggesting that, in H. pylori, resistance to quinolones is primarily a result of alterations in gyrA.
