Molecular Evolution and Increasing Macrolide Resistance of Bordetella pertussis, Shanghai, China, 2016-2022.

ABSTRACT: Resurgence and spread of macrolide-resistant Bordetella pertussis (MRBP) threaten global public health. We collected 283 B. pertussis isolates during 2016-2022 in Shanghai, China, and conducted 23S rRNA gene A2047G mutation detection, multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis, and virulence genotyping analysis. We performed whole-genome sequencing on representative strains. We detected pertussis primarily in infants (0-1 years of age) before 2020 and older children (>5-10 years of age) after 2020. The major genotypes were ptxP1/prn1/fhaB3/ptxA1/ptxC1/fim2-1/fim3-1 (48.7%) and ptxP3/prn2/fhaB1/ptxA1/ptxC2/fim2-1/fim3-1 (47.7%). MRBP increased remarkably from 2016 (36.4%) to 2022 (97.2%). All MRBPs before 2020 harbored ptxP1, and 51.4% belonged to multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis type (MT) 195, whereas ptxP3-MRBP increased from 0% before 2020 to 66.7% after 2020, and all belonged to MT28. MT28 ptxP3-MRBP emerged only after 2020 and replaced the resident MT195 ptxP1-MRBP, revealing that 2020 was a watershed in the transformation of MRBP.

Project description:BackgroundPertussis is a highly contagious respiratory illness mainly caused by Bordetella pertussis (BP). Bordetella parapertussis (BPP) can induce symptoms compatible with pertussis, but has been underdiagnosed and underreported. The current pertussis vaccines offer low protection against BPP. Herein, we aim to reveal the epidemiology and genomic evolution of BPP in Shanghai, China.MethodsChildren diagnosed with BPP infection from January 2017 to December 2022 in Shanghai, China were enrolled. We performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), multiple locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA), and whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis. A total of 260 international BPP genomes were chosen for comparison to investigate the genomic diversity and phylogenetic characteristics of Chinese strains within a global context.ResultsSixty patients were diagnosed with BPP infection by culture, with the positive ratio of 3.5‰ (60/17337) for BPP in nasopharyngeal swap samples. The average age of patients was 4.5 ± 0.3 years. BPPs contained four MLVA types including MT6 (65.0%), MT4 (26.7%), untype-1 (6.7%) and MT5 (1.7%), and none of strains showed resistance to macrolides. All strains carried virulence genotype of ptxP37/ptxA13/ptxB3/ptxC3/ptxD3/ptxE3/fim2-2/fim3-10. MT4 and MT5 strains carried prn54, whereas MT6 and untype-1 BPPs expressed prn101. We identified two outbreaks after 2020 caused by MT4 and MT6 strains, each corresponding to distinct WGS-based phylogenetic lineages. The MT4-lineage is estimated to have originated around 1991 and has since spread globally, being introduced to China between 2005 and 2010. In contrast, the MT6-lineage was exclusively identified in China and is inferred to have originated around 2002.ConclusionWe revealed the genomic diversity of BPPs circulating in Shanghai, China, and reported the outbreaks of MT6 and MT4 BPPs after 2020. This is the first report on the emergence and regional outbreak of MT6 BPPs in the world, indicating that continuous surveillance on BPPs are thus required.
