Nucleotide sequence of the chromosomal ampC gene of Enterobacter aerogenes.

ABSTRACT: The AmpC beta-lactamase gene and a small portion of the regulatory ampR sequence of Enterobacter aerogenes 97B were cloned and sequenced. The beta-lactamase had an isoelectric point of 8 and conferred cephalosporin and cephamycin resistance on the host. The sequence of the cloned gene is most closely related to those of the ampC genes of E. cloacae and C. freundii.

Cloning and nucleotide sequence of the Enterobacter aerogenes signal peptidase II (lsp) gene.

Project description:In Escherichia coli, prolipoprotein signal peptidase is encoded by the lsp gene, which is organized into an operon consisting of ileS, lsp, and three open reading frames, designated genes x, orf-149, and orf-316. The Enterobacter aerogenes lsp gene was cloned and expressed in E. coli. The nucleotide sequence of the Enterobacter aerogenes lsp gene and a part of its flanking sequences were determined. A high degree of homology was found between the E. coli ileS-lsp operon and the corresponding genes in Enterobacter aerogenes. Furthermore, the same five genes which constitute an operon in E. coli were found in Enterobacter aerogenes in the same order.

Irreproducible and uninterpretable Polymyxin B MICs for Enterobacter cloacae and Enterobacter aerogenes.

Project description:Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter species are emerging nosocomial pathogens. As with most multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens, the polymyxins are often the only therapeutic option. In this study involving clinical isolates of E. cloacae and E. aerogenes, susceptibility testing methods with polymyxin B were analyzed. All isolates underwent testing by the broth microdilution (in duplicate) and agar dilution (in duplicate) methods, and select isolates were examined by the Etest method. Selected isolates were also examined for heteroresistance by population analysis profiling. Using a susceptibility breakpoint of ≤2 μg/ml, categorical agreement by all four dilution tests (two broth microdilution and two agar dilution) was achieved in only 76/114 (67%) of E. cloacae isolates (65 susceptible, 11 resistant). Thirty-eight (33%) had either conflicting or uninterpretable results (multiple skip wells, i.e., wells that exhibit no growth although growth does occur at higher concentrations). Of the 11 consistently resistant isolates, five had susceptible MICs as determined by Etest. Heteroresistant subpopulations were detected in eight of eight isolates tested, with greater percentages in isolates with uninterpretable MICs. For E. aerogenes, categorical agreement between the four dilution tests was obtained in 48/56 (86%), with conflicting and/or uninterpretable results in 8/56 (14%). For polymyxin susceptibility testing of Enterobacter species, close attention must be paid to the presence of multiple skip wells, leading to uninterpretable results. Susceptibility also should not be assumed based on the results of a single test. Until the clinical relevance of skip wells is defined, interpretation of polymyxin susceptibility tests for Enterobacter species should be undertaken with extreme caution.

Stability and low induction propensity of cefiderocol against chromosomal AmpC ?-lactamases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter cloacae.

Project description:ObjectivesThe siderophore cephalosporin cefiderocol possesses in vitro activity against MDR Gram-negative bacteria. The stability of cefiderocol against serine- and metallo-type carbapenemases has been reported previously, but little is known about how cefiderocol interacts with chromosomal AmpC ?-lactamases. We investigated a number of features of cefiderocol, namely antibacterial activity against AmpC overproducers, stability against AmpC ?-lactamases and propensity for AmpC induction using Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter cloacae.MethodsMICs were determined by broth microdilution according to CLSI guidelines. The MIC of cefiderocol was determined in iron-depleted CAMHB. Hydrolysis of the antibiotics was determined by monitoring the changes in the absorbance in the presence of AmpC ?-lactamase, and AmpC induction was evaluated by double disc diffusion and nitrocefin degradation assays.ResultsThe MICs of ceftazidime and cefepime for PAO1 increased 4- to 16-fold with inactivation of either ampD or dacB, whereas cefiderocol MICs were little affected by these inactivations (<2-fold increase). Cefiderocol has 17- and 740-fold lower affinity (higher Ki) to AmpCs of P. aeruginosa SR24-12 and E. cloacae P99, respectively, compared with ceftazidime. Both disc diffusion and nitrocefin degradation assays indicated that cefiderocol did not induce AmpC ?-lactamases of P. aeruginosa PAO1 and ATCC 27853 and E. cloacae ATCC 13047, whereas imipenem did.ConclusionsCefiderocol showed in vitro activity against the AmpC-overproducing strains, low affinity for chromosomal AmpC ?-lactamases, and a low propensity of temporal induction of AmpC ?-lactamases of P. aeruginosa and E. cloacae. These features relating to chromosomal AmpC could explain the potent antibacterial activity of cefiderocol against drug-resistant strains producing AmpC ?-lactamases.

Transmission of Enterobacter aerogenes septicemia in healthcare workers.

Project description:Enterobacter aerogenes is recognized as an important bacterial pathogen in hospital-acquired infections. This report describes two unusual cases of septicemia caused by E. aerogenes in immunocompetent healthcare workers. E. aerogenes was isolated from blood cultures of the two patients experiencing septicemia. The clinical isolates were initially identified as E. aerogenes using a VITEK II automated system and 16S rRNA sequence analysis, and; both isolates involved in the outbreak shared a common pulse-field gel electrophoresis pattern. The similarities between the two cases included the simultaneous development of gastroenteritis symptoms, severe sepsis and thrombocytopenia after taking intravenous injections of ketorolac tromethamine. A common source of normal saline, a 100 mL bottle, was used for diluting the analgesic in both cases. In addition to the general population, healthcare workers, especially those who are also intravenous drug abusers, should be considered subjects that could cause a transmission of Enterobacter infection.

Newly Named Klebsiella aerogenes (formerly Enterobacter aerogenes) Is Associated with Poor Clinical Outcomes Relative to Other Enterobacter Species in Patients with Bloodstream Infection.

Project description:Enterobacter aerogenes was recently renamed Klebsiella aerogenes This study aimed to identify differences in clinical characteristics, outcomes, and bacterial genetics among patients with K. aerogenes versus Enterobacter species bloodstream infections (BSI). We prospectively enrolled patients with K. aerogenes or Enterobacter cloacae complex (Ecc) BSI from 2002 to 2015. We performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and pan-genome analysis on all bacteria. Overall, 150 patients with K. aerogenes (46/150 [31%]) or Ecc (104/150 [69%]) BSI were enrolled. The two groups had similar baseline characteristics. Neither total in-hospital mortality (13/46 [28%] versus 22/104 [21%]; P = 0.3) nor attributable in-hospital mortality (9/46 [20%] versus 13/104 [12%]; P = 0.3) differed between patients with K. aerogenes versus Ecc BSI, respectively. However, poor clinical outcome (death before discharge, recurrent BSI, and/or BSI complication) was higher for K. aerogenes than Ecc BSI (32/46 [70%] versus 42/104 [40%]; P = 0.001). In a multivariable regression model, K. aerogenes BSI, relative to Ecc BSI, was predictive of poor clinical outcome (odds ratio 3.3; 95% confidence interval 1.4 to 8.1; P = 0.008). Pan-genome analysis revealed 983 genes in 323 genomic islands unique to K. aerogenes isolates, including putative virulence genes involved in iron acquisition (n = 67), fimbriae/pili/flagella production (n = 117), and metal homeostasis (n = 34). Antibiotic resistance was largely found in Ecc lineage 1, which had a higher rate of multidrug resistant phenotype (23/54 [43%]) relative to all other bacterial isolates (23/96 [24%]; P = 0.03). K. aerogenes BSI was associated with poor clinical outcomes relative to Ecc BSI. Putative virulence factors in K. aerogenes may account for these differences.

mar Operon involved in multidrug resistance of Enterobacter aerogenes.

Project description:We determined the sequence of the entire marRAB operon in Enterobacter aerogenes. It is functionally and structurally analogous to the Escherichia coli operon. The overexpression of E. aerogenes MarA induces a multidrug resistance phenotype in a susceptible strain, demonstrated by a noticeable resistance to various antibiotics, a decrease in immunodetected porins, and active efflux of norfloxacin.

Sequence and comparative analysis of three Enterobacter cloacae ampC beta-lactamase genes and their products.

Project description:The sequences of three Enterobacter cloacae ampC beta-lactamase genes have been determined. The deduced amino acid sequences are very similar: out of a total of 361 residues, only eight positions were found to be variable, and several mutations yielded residues with very similar properties. The kinetic properties of two of the enzymes were not significantly different. The three enzymes also exhibited a high degree of homology (greater than 70%) with the ampC beta-lactamases of Escherichia coli K12 and Citrobacter freundii, confirming the homogeneity of class-C beta-lactamases.
