Metallo-beta-lactamase gene bla(IMP-15) in a class 1 integron, In95, from Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates from a hospital in Mexico.

ABSTRACT: During 2003, 40 carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates collected in a Mexican tertiary-care hospital were screened for metallo-beta-lactamase production. Thirteen isolates produced IMP-15, and 12 had a single pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern. The bla(IMP-15) gene cassette was inserted in a plasmid-borne integron with a unique array of gene cassettes and was named In95.

Two novel class I integron arrays containing IMP-18 metallo-?-lactamase gene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates from Puerto Rico.

Project description:During a ?-lactam resistance surveillance study, 12 IMP-18-positive Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates belonging to 9 different pulsed-field gel electrophoresis groups were identified. In nine isolates, a class I integron with a novel gene array was identified that contained bla(IMP-18) and bla(OXA-224), while in two isolates the class I integron contained bla(IMP-18) and bla(OXA-2) but in a new arrangement. Our findings show the dissemination of two novel class I integrons in P. aeruginosa from different regions of Puerto Rico.

Novel acquired metallo-beta-lactamase gene, bla(SIM-1), in a class 1 integron from Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates from Korea.

Project description:Carbapenem resistance mediated by acquired carbapenemase genes has been increasingly reported, particularly for clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. Of 1,234 non-duplicate isolates of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas spp. and Acinetobacter spp. isolated at a tertiary-care hospital in Seoul, Korea, 211 (17%) were positive for metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL). Of these, 204 (96%) had either the bla(IMP-1) or bla(VIM-2) allele. In addition, seven Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were found to have a novel MBL gene, which was designated bla(SIM-1). The SIM-1 protein has a pI of 7.2, is a new member of subclass B1, and exhibits 64 to 69% identity with the IMP-type MBLs, which are its closest relatives. All SIM-1-producing isolates exhibited relatively low imipenem and meropenem MICs (8 to 16 microg/ml) and had a multidrug resistance phenotype. Expression of the cloned bla(SIM-1) gene in Escherichia coli revealed that the encoded enzyme is capable of hydrolyzing a broad array of beta-lactams, including penicillins, narrow- to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins, and carbapenems. The bla(SIM-1) gene was carried on a gene cassette inserted into a class 1 integron, which included three additional cassettes (arr-3, catB3, and aadA1). The strains were isolated from sputum and urine specimens from patients with pneumonia and urinary tract infections, respectively. All patients had various underlying diseases. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of SmaI-digested genomic DNAs showed that the strains belonged to two different clonal lineages, indicating that horizontal transfer of this gene had occurred and suggesting the possibility of further spread of resistance in the future.

IMP-29, a novel IMP-type metallo-?-lactamase in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:Analysis of two clonally related multiresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates led to the identification of a novel IMP-type metallo-?-lactamase. IMP-29 was significantly different from the other IMP variants (the closest variant being IMP-5 with 93% amino acid identity). The bla(IMP-29) gene cassette was carried by a class 1 integron in strain 10.298, while in strain 10.266 it was located in a rearranged DNA region on a 30-kb conjugative plasmid. Biochemical analysis confirmed that IMP-29 efficiently hydrolyzed carbapenems.

Detection of bla(IMP) and bla(VIM) metallo-?-lactamases genes among Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains.

Project description:Acquired Metallo-?-Lactamases (MBLs) are emerging resistance determinants in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other gram-negative bacteria.Using Combination Disk Diffusion test, it was found that among 83 imipenem non-susceptible P. aeruginosa strains, 48 (57.9%) were MBL producers. PCR and Sequencing methods proved that these isolates were positive for blaIMP-1 genes, whereas none were positive for bla(VIM) genes. The mortality rate due to MBL-producing Pseudomonas infection was 4 (8.3%) among the hospitalized patients. Therefore, identification of drug resistance patterns in P. aeruginosa and detection of MBLs producing isolates are of great importance in the prevention and control of infections.

Class 1 integron containing metallo-beta-lactamase gene blaVIM-2 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical strains isolated in Japan.

Project description:Four bla(VIM-2) gene-harboring Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were identified. These strains possessed a class 1 integron harboring ORF1, bla(VIM-2), and aacA4 gene cassettes. The transposon-mediated horizontal spread of the bla(VIM-2) gene among these strains was suggested, which increases the threat that the bla(VIM-2) gene will disseminate among diverse genera of bacteria.

Multilocus sequence types of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Singapore carrying metallo-beta-lactamase genes, including the novel bla(IMP-26) gene.

Project description:Nine imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were found to contain a variety of metallo-beta-lactamase genes, including bla(IMP-1), bla(IMP-7), bla(VIM-2), bla(VIM-6), and the novel bla(IMP-26). Multilocus sequence typing showed a diversity of sequence types. Comparison with isolates from an earlier study showed that the epidemic clones from 2000 have not become established.

Nosocomial outbreak caused by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing IMP-13 metallo-beta-lactamase.

Project description:An outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa showing a multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotype (including carbapenems, ceftazidime, cefepime, gentamicin, tobramycin, and fluoroquinolones) was observed, during a 5-month period, in a general intensive care unit of a large tertiary care and clinical research hospital in southern Italy. The outbreak involved 15 patients, with a total of 87 isolates, mostly from lower respiratory tract specimens. Analysis of isolates involved in the outbreak revealed production of metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) activity, and genotyping by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of genomic DNA digested by SpeI revealed clonal relatedness among isolates. Molecular analysis of the MBL determinant showed the presence of a bla(IMP-13) gene carried on a gene cassette inserted in a class 1 integron which also contained an aacA4 aminoglycoside resistance cassette encoding an AAC(6')-Ib enzyme. The bla(IMP-13)-containing integron and its genetic environment appeared to be similar to those found in P. aeruginosa isolates producing IMP-13 from a hospital in Rome. The bla(IMP-13) gene was not transferable by conjugation and was apparently carried on the chromosome. The outbreak was coincidental with a shortage of nursing personnel, and resolution was apparently associated with reinstatement of nursing personnel and reinforcement of general infection control practices within the intensive care unit. To our best knowledge this is the first description of a nosocomial outbreak of relatively large size caused by an IMP-producing gram-negative pathogen in Europe.

Molecular analysis of metallo-beta-lactamase gene bla(SPM-1)-surrounding sequences from disseminated Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in Recife, Brazil.

Project description:The spread of clonally related carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing the metallo-beta-lactamase SPM-1 was found in Recife, Brazil. Upstream of bla(SPM-1), a novel common region (CR4) was identified, comprising an open reading frame, orf495, whose product shares significant identity with putative recombinases, such as Orf513. CR4 may be responsible for mobilization and expression of bla(SPM-1).

IMP-27, a Unique Metallo-?-Lactamase Identified in Geographically Distinct Isolates of Proteus mirabilis.

Project description:A novel metallo-?-lactamase gene, blaIMP-27, was identified in unrelated Proteus mirabilis isolates from two geographically distinct locations in the United States. Both isolates harbor blaIMP-27 as part of the first gene cassette in a class 2 integron. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing indicated susceptibility to aztreonam, piperacillin-tazobactam, and ceftazidime but resistance to ertapenem. However, hydrolysis assays indicated that ceftazidime was a substrate for IMP-27.
