Aims:Fish pathogenicLactococcus garvieaeserotype II has been isolated from cultured fish species in Japan. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of lincomycin (LCM)-resistantL. garvieaeserotype II and assess the molecular basis for lincosamides–streptogramins A–pleuromutilins (LSAP)-resistant phenotype.Results:We identified a novellsa(D)-encoded 497-aa ATP-binding cassette F (ABC-F) protein in the LSAP-resistant strains. Amino acid identities of 41.25–54.73% were obtained between the deduced amino acids from Lsa(D) and other Lsa-type ABC-F proteins. Furthermore, comparative analysis revealed that the allele oflsa(D) with single point mutation at 233 aa position (TGG → TAG; tryptophan→premature termination codon [PTC]) in LSAP-sensitive strains. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of antimicrobials against thelsa(D) complementary strain andlsa(D)-disrupted mutant confirmed thatlsa(D) conferred the LSAP-resistant phenotype. The reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction could not detect the noncoding region oflsa(D) allelic variant in the LSAP-sensitive strains. Additionally, the PTC (TAG) in LCM-sensitive strains was replaced by TGG,CAG, or TATin the laboratory-induced revertant mutants.Conclusions:The novellsa(D) conferred the LSAP-resistant phenotype in clinically LCM-resistantL. garvieaeserotype II strains. However, the allele oflsa(D) gene containing the PTC was found inL. garvieaeserotype II, resulting in the LSAP-susceptible phenotype.
