Nosocomial infections caused by multidrug-resistant isolates of pseudomonas putida producing VIM-1 metallo-beta-lactamase.

Project description:Successful carbapenem-based chemotherapy for the treatment of Pseudomonas infections has been seriously hindered by the recent appearance of IMP- and VIM-type metallo-beta-lactamases, which confer high-level resistance to carbapenems and most other beta-lactams. Recently, multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas putida isolates for which carbapenem MICs were >/=32 micro g/ml were recovered from cultures of urine from three inpatients in the general intensive care unit of the Ospedale di Circolo, Varese, Italy. Enzyme assays revealed production of a metallo-beta-lactamase activity, while molecular analysis detected in each isolate a bla(VIM-1) determinant carried by an apparently identical medium-sized plasmid. Conjugation experiments were unsuccessful in transferring the beta-lactamase determinant to Escherichia coli or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Macrorestriction analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis demonstrated that the isolates were of clonal origin. PCR mapping and sequencing of the variable region of the plasmid-borne class 1 integron carrying the bla(VIM-1) determinant (named In110) showed that the bla(VIM-1)-containing cassette was identical to that previously found in strains of different species from other Italian hospitals and that the cassette array of In110 was not identical but clearly related to that of In70 (a bla(VIM-1)-containing plasmid-borne integron from an Achromobacter xylosoxidans isolate), pointing to a common origin of this cassette and to a related evolutionary history of their cognate integrons.

Epidemiology and Characteristics of Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:Metallo-β-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MPPA) is an important nosocomial pathogen that shows resistance to all β-lactam antibiotics except monobactams. There are various types of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) in carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa including Imipenemase (IMP), Verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamase (VIM), Sao Paulo metallo-β-lactamase (SPM), Germany imipenemase (GIM), New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM), Florence imipenemase (FIM). Each MBL gene is located on specific genetic elements including integrons, transposons, plasmids, or on the chromosome, in which they carry genes encoding determinants of resistance to carbapenems and other antibiotics, conferring multidrug resistance to P. aeruginosa. In addition, these genetic elements are transferable to other Gram-negative species, increasing the antimicrobial resistance rate and complicating the treatment of infected patients. Therefore, it is essential to understand the epidemiology, resistance mechanism, and molecular characteristics of MPPA for infection control and prevention of a possible global health crisis. Here, we highlight the characteristics of MPPA.

Characterization of a rare bla VIM-4 metallo-β-lactamase-producing Serratia marcescens clinical isolate in Hungary.

Project description:A carbapenem-resistant S. marcescens isolate was recovered from a patient with an inflammed pacemaker inplantation pocket from a Cardiac Surgery ward in a Hungarian University Hospital. Phenotypic tests and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed a very rare gene responsible for production of a carbapenemase ( bla VIM-4 ), which was further characterized by Sanger-sequencing. The characterization of this S. marcescens strain emphasizes the ongoing emergence of novel or rare carbapenemases. Strains expressing a weak carbapenemase like this strain might go unrecognized by routine diagnostics due to low minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for the bacterial strains producing such enzymes.

First detection of metallo-beta-lactamase VIM-2 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from Colombia.

Project description:Carbapenem resistance rates in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in Colombia, as in many South American countries, are high for reasons that remain unclear. From our nationwide network, we describe the first detection of the metallo-beta-lactamase VIM-2 in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa from multiple cities within Colombia. Metallo-beta-lactamases were not detected in the two centers with the highest imipenem resistance rates. Clonality was noted in five of the eight centers with strains meeting the criteria for molecular typing. The high carbapenem resistance in P. aeruginosa in Colombia may be attributable to a combination of factors, including the presence of metallo-beta-lactamases and nosocomial transmission.

bla(VIM-2) cassette-containing novel integrons in metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas putida isolates disseminated in a Korean hospital.

Project description:We investigated the phenotypic and genetic properties of metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas isolates collected at a tertiary-care hospital in Korea since 1995. The prevalence of imipenem resistance among Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates reached 16% in 1997, when 9% of the resistant organisms were found to produce VIM-2 beta-lactamase, a class B enzyme previously found only in P. aeruginosa isolates from Europe. VIM-2-producing isolates of Pseudomonas putida were also detected. Resistance was transferable from both these species to P. aeruginosa PAO4089Rp by filter mating, although the resistance determinant could not be found on any detectable plasmid. Serotyping showed that many of the VIM-2-producing P. aeruginosa isolates belonged to serotypes O:11 and O:12, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of XbaI-digested genomic DNA revealed that many had identical profiles, whereas the P. putida isolates were diverse. Sequencing showed that the bla(VIM-2) genes resided as cassettes in class 1 integrons. In contrast to previous VIM-encoding integrons, the integron sequenced from a P. aeruginosa isolate had bla(VIM) located downstream of a variant of aacA4. bla(VIM) also lay in a class 1 integron in a representative P. putida strain, but the organization of this integron was different from that sequenced from the P. aeruginosa strain. In conclusion, the metallo-beta-lactamase produced by these imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas isolates was VIM-2, and the accumulation of producers reflected clonal dissemination as well as horizontal spread. Strict measures are required in order to control a further spread of resistance.

VIM-1 Metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in Greek hospitals.

Project description:Seventeen Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates carrying the bla(VIM-1) metallo-beta-lactamase gene were collected in the intensive care units of three hospitals in Athens, Greece, in 2002. They exhibited various carbapenem resistance levels (Etest MICs of imipenem ranged from 4 to 32 microg/ml). All isolates gave positive results by the imipenem-EDTA synergy Etest. The isolates were classified into four main types by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis; the majority of the isolates (5 and 10 isolates) belonged to two types. The bla(VIM-1) gene cassette was part of the variable region of a class 1 integron that also included aac6, dhfrI, and aadA. This structure was carried by transferable plasmids.

<i>Escherichia coli</i> ST471 Producing VIM-4 Metallo-β-Lactamase in Colombia.

Project description:An Escherichia coli isolate sequence-type 471 (ST471) producing Verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamases (VIM)-4 was recovered from a rectal swab in a patient without travel records with osteomyelitis in Colombia. The isolate carried a class 1 integron-borne blaVIM-4 gene with a 170-bp duplication in the 3' end of the gene, preceded by an aac(6')-Ib gene. The genetic environment of blaVIM-4, blaCMY-2, and sul2 genes showed similarities to the backbone of pKKp4, an IncA/C-type plasmid from a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain carrying blaVIM-4 recovered in Kuwait. This is the first report of blaVIM-4 in Enterobacterales in South America. Our results suggest that blaVIM-4 gene was found on an IncA/C-type plasmid that could play a role in the spread of VIM-4 carbapenemase in Colombia.

Identification of the first VIM metallo-beta-lactamase-producing multiresistant Aeromonas hydrophila strain.

Project description:A VIM metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Aeromonas hydrophila strain carrying an integron-borne bla(VIM-4) gene was isolated from a cirrhotic patient's fecal sample in a Budapest hospital. The variable region of this integron is identical with that of a previously characterized integron from Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates in Pécs in southern Hungary.

Genomic Characterization of VIM Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Alcaligenes faecalis from Gaza, Palestine.

Project description:Carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria (CP-GNB) have increasingly spread worldwide, and different families of carbapenemases have been identified in various bacterial species. Here, we report the identification of five VIM metallo-β-lactamase-producing Alcaligenes faecalis isolates associated with a small outbreak in a large hospital in Gaza, Palestine. Next-generation sequencing analysis showed blaVIM-2 is harbored by a chromosomal genomic island among three strains, while blaVIM-4 is carried by a novel plasmid in two strains.
