<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.

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.

First report of an extensively drug-resistant VIM-2 metallo-β-lactamase-producing Brevundimonas diminuta clinical isolate.

Project description:In the literature, only three Brevundimonas diminuta environmental isolates carrying metallo-β-lactamase genes were recently published. However, so far, no B. diminuta clinical isolates carrying these carbapenem resistance genes have been described. Here we report the first VIM-2 metallo-β-lactamase-producing B. diminuta clinical isolate obtained from an immunocompromised patient.

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.

Novel VIM metallo-beta-lactamase variant, VIM-24, from a Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate from Colombia.

Project description:We report the emergence of a novel VIM variant (VIM-24) in a Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate in Colombia. The isolate displays MICs for carbapenems below the resistance breakpoints, posing a real challenge for its detection. The blaVIM-24 gene was located within a class 1 integron carried on a large plasmid. Further studies are needed to clarify its epidemiological and clinical impact.

Escherichia coli with a self-transferable, multiresistant plasmid coding for metallo-beta-lactamase VIM-1.

Project description:An Escherichia coli strain exhibiting decreased susceptibility to carbapenems was isolated from a hospitalized patient in Greece. The strain carried a self-transferable plasmid coding for metallo-beta-lactamase VIM-1. bla(VIM-1), along with aacA7, dhfrI, and aadA, was included as a gene cassette in a novel class 1 integron. A Citrobacter freundii ampC-derived gene, not associated with the integron, was also located in the same plasmid.

VIM-19, a metallo-beta-lactamase with increased carbapenemase activity from Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Project description:Two carbapenem-resistant isolates, one Escherichia coli isolate and one Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate, recovered from an Algerian patient expressed a novel VIM-type metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL). The identified bla(VIM-19) gene was located on a ca. 160-kb plasmid and located inside a class 1 integron in both isolates. VIM-19 differed from VIM-1 by the Asn215Lys and Ser228Arg substitutions, increasing its hydrolytic activity toward carbapenems. Site-directed mutagenesis experiments showed that both substitutions were necessary for the increased carbapenemase activity of VIM-19. This study indicates that MBLs with enhanced activity toward carbapenems may be obtained as a result of very few amino acid substitutions.

NDM-12, a novel New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase variant from a carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli clinical isolate in Nepal.

Project description:A novel New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase variant, NDM-12, was identified in a carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli clinical isolate obtained from a urine sample from a patient in Nepal. NDM-12 differed from NDM-1 by two amino acid substitutions (M154L and G222D). The enzymatic activities of NDM-12 against β-lactams were similar to those of NDM-1, although NDM-12 showed lower kcat/Km ratios for all β-lactams tested except doripenem. The blaNDM-12 gene was located in a plasmid of 160 kb.

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.

Emergence of metallo-?-lactamase NDM-1-producing multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli in Australia.

Project description:A multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolate recovered in Australia produced a carbapenem-hydrolyzing ?-lactamase. Molecular investigations revealed the first identification of the bla(NDM-1) metallo-?-lactamase gene in that country. In addition, this E. coli isolate expressed the extended-spectrum ?-lactamase CTX-M-15, together with two 16S rRNA methylases, namely, ArmA and RmtB, conferring a high level of resistance to aminoglycosides.
