Ceftazidime-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates from three Polish hospitals: identification of three novel TEM- and SHV-5-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamases.

ABSTRACT: Twelve ceftazidime-resistant isolates of the family Enterobacteriaceae (11 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates and 1 Escherichia coli isolate) were collected in 1995 from three Polish hospitals located in different cities. All were identified as producers of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs). Detailed analysis of their beta-lactamase contents revealed that six of them expressed SHV-5-like ESBLs. The remaining six were found to produce three different TEM enzymes, each characterized by a pI value of 6.0 and specified by new combinations of amino acid substitutions. The amino acid substitutions compared to the TEM-1 beta-lactamase sequence were Gly238Ser, Glu240Lys, and Thr265Met for TEM-47; Leu21Phe, Gly238Ser, Glu240Lys, and Thr265Met for TEM-48; and Leu21Phe, Gly238Ser, Glu240Lys, Thr265Met, and Ser268Gly for TEM-49. The new TEM beta-lactamases, TEM-47, TEM-48, and TEM-49, belong to a subfamily of TEM-2-related enzymes. Genes coding for TEM-47 and TEM-49 could have originated from the TEM-48-encoding sequence by various single genetic events. The new TEM derivatives probably document the already advanced microevolution of ESBLs ongoing in Polish hospitals, in a majority of which no monitoring of ESBL producers was performed before 1996.

Project description:The activities of ceftazidime-avibactam, ceftolozane-tazobactam, and comparators were evaluated for 733 isolates displaying resistance to broad-spectrum cephalosporins and carrying extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes detected by whole-genome sequencing analysis. Isolates were collected during 2017 in U.S. hospitals. The ESBL producers were 486 Escherichia coli, 190 Klebsiella pneumoniae, and 42 Enterobacter cloacae isolates and isolates from 3 other species. The most common groups of ESBL-encoding genes were blaCTX-M-15-like (n = 491 isolates) and blaCTX-M-15 alone (n = 168) or plus blaOXA-1 (n = 260), followed by blaCTX-M-14-like (n = 162), which included blaCTX-M-27 and blaCTX-M-14 (104 and 51 isolates, respectively), and blaSHV-12 and blaSHV-7 (48 and 22 isolates, respectively). ESBL producers carried other β-lactamases, including 1 E. cloacae harboring blaKPC-3 All ESBL-producing isolates were susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam, and 90.2/83.9% (CLSI/EUCAST breakpoints) were susceptible to ceftolozane-tazobactam. Tigecycline (98.1/95.8% susceptible) and colistin (99.2%) were comparators that displayed the greatest activity against these isolates. Ceftolozane-tazobactam inhibited 91.4/83.9% of isolates carrying blaCTX-M-15-like and 97.5/95.1% of isolates carrying blaCTX-M-14-like, and its activity was more limited against the 91 isolates carrying blaSHV (66.7/61.1% susceptible). Ceftolozane-tazobactam inhibited 95.5% of the E. coli isolates but only 83.0%, 64.3%, and 80.0% of K. pneumoniae, E. cloacae, and other species harboring ESBL-encoding genes (CLSI breakpoints), respectively. Outer membrane protein sequences for ceftolozane-tazobactam-nonsusceptible isolates did not exhibit significant differences compared to those in genetically related ceftolozane-tazobactam-susceptible isolates. Ceftazidime-avibactam was more active than other agents tested, including ceftolozane-tazobactam, and the activity of this combination was stable regardless of species or ESBL gene carried.
