Novel plasmid-encoded class C beta-lactamase (MOX-2) in Klebsiella pneumoniae from Greece.

ABSTRACT: Klebsiella pneumoniae KOL, a clinical strain resistant to various beta-lactams, was isolated from the stools of a patient from Greece. This strain harbored a new pI 9.1 plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase with unusually high levels of hydrolytic activity for cefoxitin and cefotetan that we named MOX-2. Sequencing of bla(MOX-2) revealed 93.2, 92.9, 92.7, and 73.1% identities with the deduced amino acid sequences of CMY-8, MOX-1, CMY-1, and the AmpC beta-lactamase of Aeromonas sobria, respectively.

Crystal structure of Mox-1, a unique plasmid-mediated class C β-lactamase with hydrolytic activity towards moxalactam.

Project description:Mox-1 is a unique plasmid-mediated class C β-lactamase that hydrolyzes penicillins, cephalothin, and the expanded-spectrum cephalosporins cefepime and moxalactam. In order to understand the unique substrate profile of this enzyme, we determined the X-ray crystallographic structure of Mox-1 β-lactamase at a 1.5-Å resolution. The overall structure of Mox-1 β-lactamase resembles that of other AmpC enzymes, with some notable exceptions. First, comparison with other enzymes whose structures have been solved reveals significant differences in the composition of amino acids that make up the hydrogen-bonding network and the position of structural elements in the substrate-binding cavity. Second, the main-chain electron density is not observed in two regions, one containing amino acid residues 214 to 216 positioned in the Ω loop and the other in the N terminus of the B3 β-strand corresponding to amino acid residues 303 to 306. The last two observations suggest that there is significant structural flexibility of these regions, a property which may impact the recognition and binding of substrates in Mox-1. These important differences allow us to propose that the binding of moxalactam in Mox-1 is facilitated by the avoidance of steric clashes, indicating that a substrate-induced conformational change underlies the basis of the hydrolytic profile of Mox-1 β-lactamase.

ColE1-like plasmid pIP843 of Klebsiella pneumoniae encoding extended-spectrum beta-lactamase CTX-M-17.

Project description:The resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae BM4493, isolated in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to cefotaxime and aztreonam was due to production of a novel beta-lactamase, CTX-M-17. The bla(CTX-M-17) gene was borne by 7,086-bp plasmid pIP843, which was entirely sequenced and which was found to belong to the ColE1 family. The 876-bp bla(CTX-M-17) gene differed from bla(CTX-M-14) by 2 nucleotides, which led to the single amino acid substitution Glu289-->Lys. bla(CTX-M-17) was flanked upstream by an ISEcp1-like element and downstream by an insertion sequence (IS) IS903 variant designated IS903-C. The transcriptional start site of bla(CTX-M-17) was located 109 nucleotides upstream from the initiation codon in the ISEcp1-like element, which also provided the promoter sequences. Plasmid pIP843, which was non-self-transferable and nonmobilizable, contained five open reading frames transcribed in the same orientation. Regions homologous to sequences coding for putative RNA II and RNA I transcripts, a rom gene, which is involved in initiation of replication, and a cer-like gene, which is responsible for the stability of ColE1-like plasmids, were identified. Consensus sequences for putative replication (oriV) and transfer (oriT) origins were present. Results of primer extension experiments indicated that ISEcp1 provides the promoter for expression of bla(CTX-M-17) and may contribute to dissemination of this gene.

Cloning and biochemical characterization of FOX-5, an AmpC-type plasmid-encoded beta-lactamase from a New York City Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate.

Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae 5064, isolated in New York, carried plasmid-mediated resistance to multiple beta-lactams and was unresponsive to clavulanic acid. The beta-lactamase gene responsible for cephalosporin resistance encoded FOX-5, with 96 to 97% amino acid identities to other members of the FOX family of beta-lactamases. The bla(FOX-5) coding region was located next to a transposase gene from the Aeromonas salmonicida insertion element ISAS2.

SHV-1 beta-lactamase is mainly a chromosomally encoded species-specific enzyme in Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Project description:The nature of the SHV-1 beta-lactamase gene was analyzed in 97 epidemiologically unrelated Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from clinical samples. beta-Lactamase bands that focused at a pI of 7.6 (SHV-1-type) in 74 strains, at a pI of 7.1 (LEN-1-type) in 13 strains, and at a pI of 5.4 (TEM-1-type) in 10 strains were detected by analytical isoelectric focusing (IEF). Among the 74 SHV-1-producing strains, 40 had, in addition to the pI 7.6 band, an additional band on IEF: 20 had a band with a pI of 7.1 and 20 had a band with a pI of 5.4. Most of the 74 SHV-1-producing strains (76.7%) carried plasmids. Transfer of beta-lactam resistance by conjugation was possible in only 9.3% of the strains tested. SHV-1 gene-specific PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of the chromosomal DNA was positive for 93 of the 97 strains and negative for only 4 of the 10 samples with K. pneumoniae TEM-1 producers. In an attempt to approximate the location of the SHV gene locus by endonuclease restriction analysis, RFLP analysis with Southern blotting of chromosomal DNA with a labeled SHV-1 fragment as a probe was used to study the 97 strains. A trial with EcoRI showed at least one positive hybridization band for 96 strains; two bands were detected for 8 strains. The hybridization was negative for only one TEM-1 beta-lactamase-producing strain. DNA sequence analysis showed no differences in promoter regions or extra stop-triplet sequences; only point mutations determined different allelic variants. The novel SHV-type variants are designated SHV-32 and SHV-33. As a result of the RFLP and sequencing analyses, it can be postulated that the loci for SHV-1 and LEN-1 genes are arranged in tandem. Our results strongly support the hypothesis that the ancestor of the SHV-1 beta-lactamase originated from the K. pneumoniae chromosome.

Diversity and evolution of the class A chromosomal beta-lactamase gene in Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Project description:We investigated the diversity of the chromosomal class A beta-lactamase gene in Klebsiella pneumoniae in order to study the evolution of the gene. A 789-bp portion was sequenced in a panel of 28 strains, representative of three phylogenetic groups, KpI, KpII, and KpIII, recently identified in K. pneumoniae and of different chromosomal beta-lactamase variants previously identified. Three groups of sequences were found, two of them corresponding to the families SHV (pI 7.6) and LEN (pI 7.1), respectively, and one, more heterogeneous, corresponding to a new family that we named OKP (for other K. pneumoniae beta-lactamase). Levels of susceptibility to ampicillin, cefuroxime, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, and aztreonam and inhibition by clavulanic acid were similar in the three groups. One new SHV variant, seven new LEN variants, and four OKP variants were identified. The OKP variants formed two subgroups based on nucleotide sequences, one with pIs of 7.8 and 8.1 and the other with pIs of 6.5 and 7.0. The nucleotide sequences of the housekeeping genes gyrA, coding for subunit A of gyrase, and mdh, coding for malate dehydrogenase, were also determined. Phylogenetic analysis of the three genes studied revealed parallel evolution, with the SHV, OKP, and LEN beta-lactamase families corresponding to the phylogenetic groups KpI, KpII, and KpIII, respectively. This correspondence was fully confirmed for 34 additional strains in PCR assays specific for the three beta-lactamase families. We estimated the time since divergence of the phylogenetic groups KpI and KpIII at between 6 and 28 million years, confirming the ancient presence of the beta-lactamase gene in the genome of K. pneumoniae.

Characterization of OXA-181, a carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D beta-lactamase from Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae KP3 was isolated from a patient transferred from India to the Sultanate of Oman. K. pneumoniae KP3 was resistant to all ?-lactams, including carbapenems, and expressed the carbapenem-hydrolyzing ?-lactamase OXA-181, which differs from OXA-48 by four amino acid substitutions. Compared to OXA-48, OXA-181 possessed a very similar hydrolytic profile. The bla(OXA-181) gene was located on a 7.6-kb ColE-type plasmid and was linked to the insertion sequence ISEcp1. The ISEcp1-mediated one-ended transposition of bla(OXA-181) was also demonstrated.

Characterization of OXA-204, a carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D β-lactamase from Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Project description:A Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate recovered in Tunisia showed resistance to all β-lactams and decreased susceptibility to carbapenems. K. pneumoniae 204 expressed the carbapenem-hydrolyzing β-lactamase OXA-204, differing from OXA-48 by two amino acid substitutions (Gln98His and Thr99Arg) (class D β-lactamase [DBL] numbering). OXA-48 and OXA-204 shared similar resistance profiles, hydrolyzing carbapenems but sparing broad-spectrum cephalosporins. The bla(OXA-204) gene was located on a ca. 150-kb IncA/C-type plasmid, which also carried the bla(CMY-4) gene. The bla(OXA-204) gene was associated with an ISEcp1 element, whereas the bla(OXA-48) genes are usually associated with IS1999.

Molecular and Kinetic Characterization of MOX-9, a Plasmid-Mediated Enzyme Representative of a Novel Sublineage of MOX-Type Class C β-Lactamases.

Project description:The MOX lineage of β-lactamases includes a group of molecular class C enzymes (AmpCs) encoded by genes mobilized from the chromosomes of Aeromonas spp. to plasmids. MOX-9, previously identified as a plasmid-encoded enzyme from a Citrobacter freundii isolate, belongs to a novel sublineage of MOX enzymes, derived from the resident Aeromonas media AmpC. The blaMOX-9 gene was found to be carried on a transposon, named Tn7469, likely responsible for its mobilization to plasmidic context. MOX-9 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and subjected to biochemical characterization. Kinetic analysis showed a relatively narrow-spectrum profile with strong preference for cephalosporin substrates, with some differences compared with MOX-1 and MOX-2. MOX-9 was not inhibited by clavulanate and sulbactam, while both tazobactam and avibactam acted as inhibitors in the micromolar range.

VIM-12, a novel plasmid-mediated metallo-beta-lactamase from Klebsiella pneumoniae that resembles a VIM-1/VIM-2 hybrid.

Project description:A transferable plasmid from Klebsiella pneumoniae carried a class 1 integron containing bla(VIM-12), a novel bla(VIM)-type gene, flanked by two copies of aacA7. bla(VIM-12) was clustered between bla(VIM-1) and bla(VIM-2) and differed from bla(VIM-1) by 18 nucleotides that were all located at the 3' end and matched the corresponding nucleotides in bla(VIM-2). The bla(VIM-12)-associated 59-base element was identical to that described in bla(VIM-2) alleles.
