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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacter hormaechei ST1103 with IMP-26 Carbapenemase and ESBL Gene bla SHV-178.

Project description:Purpose:To investigate the occurrence and genetic characteristics of the bla IMP-26-positive plasmid from a multidrug-resistant clinical isolate, Enterobacter hormaechei L51. Methods:Species identification was determined by MALDI-TOF MS and Sanger sequencing. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by the agar dilution and broth microdilution. Whole-genome sequencing was conducted using Illumina HiSeq 4000-PE150 and PacBio Sequel platforms, and the genome was annotated by the RAST annotation server. The ANI analysis of genomes was performed using OAT. Phylogenetic reconstruction and analyses were performed using the Harvest suite based on the core-genome SNPs of 61 publicly available E. hormaechei genomes. Results:The E. hormaechei L51 genome consists of a 5,018,729 bp circular chromosome and a 343,918 bp conjugative IncHI2/2A plasmid pEHZJ1 encoding bla IMP-26 which surrounding genetic context was intI1-bla IMP-26-ltrA-qacE?1-sul1. A new sequence type (ST1103) was assigned for the isolate L51 which was resistant to cephalosporins, carbapenems, but sensitive to piperacillin-tazobactam, amikacin, tigecycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and colistin. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that E. hormaechei L51 belonged to the same subspecies as the reference strain E. hormaechei SCEH020042, however 18,248 divergent SNP were identified. Resistance genes in pEHZJ1 including aac(3)-IIc, aac(6') -IIc, bla SHV-178, bla DHA-1, bla TEM-1, bla IMP-26, ereA2, catII, fosA5, qnrB4, tet(D), sul1 and dfrA19. Conclusion:In our study, we identified a conjugative IncHI2/2A plasmid carrying bla IMP-26 and bla SHV-178 in E. hormaechei ST1103, a novel multidrug-resistant strain isolated from China, and describe the underlying resistance mechanisms of the strain and detailed genetic context of mega plasmid pEHZJ1.

Nosocomial outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a new bla(IMP) allele, bla(IMP-7).

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from an outbreak in Canada were highly resistant to carbapenems and ceftazidime but not piperacillin. They produced a novel integron-associated metallo-beta-lactamase, designated IMP-7, with 91% identity to IMP-1. bla(IMP-7) was not detected with standard bla(IMP)-specific primers, owing to mismatches in the forward primer.

A Multidrug Resistance Plasmid pIMP26, Carrying blaIMP-26, fosA5, blaDHA-1, and qnrB4 in Enterobacter cloacae.

Project description:IMP-26 was a rare IMP variant with more carbapenem-hydrolyzing activities, which was increasingly reported now in China. This study characterized a transferable multidrug resistance plasmid harboring blaIMP-26 from one Enterobacter cloacae bloodstream isolate in Shanghai and investigated the genetic environment of resistance genes. The isolate was subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing and multilocus sequence typing using broth microdilution method, Etest and PCR. The plasmid was analyzed through conjugation experiments, S1-nuclease pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and hybridization. Whole genome sequencing and sequence analysis was conducted for further investigation of the plasmid. E. cloacae RJ702, belonging to ST528 and carrying blaIMP-26, blaDHA-1, qnrB4 and fosA5, was resistant to almost all β-lactams, but susceptible to quinolones and tigecycline. The transconjugant inherited the multidrug resistance. The resistance genes were located on a 329,420-bp IncHI2 conjugative plasmid pIMP26 (ST1 subtype), which contained trhK/trhV, tra, parA and stbA family operon. The blaIMP-26 was arranged following intI1. The blaDHA-1 and qnrB4 cluster was the downstream of ISCR1, same as that in p505108-MDR. The fosA5 cassette was mediated by IS4. This was the first report on complete nucleotide of a blaIMP-26-carrying plasmid in E. cloacae in China. Plasmid pIMP26 hosted high phylogenetic mosaicism, transferability and plasticity.

Dissemination of Carbapenem-Resistance among Multidrug Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa carrying Metallo-Beta-Lactamase Genes, including the Novel blaIMP-65 Gene in Thailand.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is considered as one of the most emerging threats in this century. Serious infections caused by this pathogen are often treated by carbapenems which are the last resource of antibiotics. Metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) production is one of the most important carbepenem resistance mechanisms and is usually related with nosocomial infections caused by P. aeruginosa. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of MBL genes and distribution pattern of MBLs producing P. aeruginosa strains in Thailand. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Specific primers were designed to detect MBL genes including IMP-, VIM-, and NDM-type MBL genes. Multilocus sequence typing method was used to determine the dissemination pattern of carbapenem-resistance among multidrug-resistant (CR-MDR) P. aeruginosa. RESULTS:A total of 153 P. aeruginosa clinical isolates were characterized as CR-MDR. Among those, 31 P. aeruginosa clinical isolates (20.3%) presented metallo-beta-lactamase genes which could be divided into VIM-type (14 strains) and IMP-type (17 strains). blaIMP-1, blaIMP-13, blaIMP-14a, and blaVIM-2 genes were detected. Moreover, a novel IMP-type MBL, blaIMP-65 was discovered and it was demonstrated to be the unique group of MBLs in Thailand. It was of interest that ST235 was the major ST type in Thailand followed by ST964 and ST111 and ST235 was detected in both MBL harboring and non-MBL harboring strains. CONCLUSION:This study reported the dissemination of MBL gene including novel MBL, blaIMP-65. This study was also demonstrated major ST of P. aeruginosa which was ST235, followed by ST964 and ST111. Moreover, it is also the first report on many P. aeruginosa STs in Thailand: ST273, ST292, ST621, ST1584, and ST1816 which emphasized the dissemination trait difference of MBLs harboring P. aeruginosa in Thailand.

Characterization of Three Novel IMP Metallo-β-Lactamases, IMP-89, IMP-91, and IMP-96, and Diverse blaIMP-Carrying Accessory Genetic Elements from Chinese Clinical Isolates.

Project description:Three novel imipenemase (IMP)-type metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), referred to as IMP-89, IMP-91, and IMP-96, were detected in three clinical isolates from China. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests indicated these novel enzymes were resistant to most β-lactams, and IMP-96 with a Ser262Gly mutation had higher activity against meropenem than its point mutant. We then collected sequence data on all 91 available IMP variants for phylogenetic analysis. To further analyze the genetic environment of blaIMP, an extensive comparison was applied to nine accessory genetic elements (AGEs), including six sequenced blaIMP-carrying AGEs in this study and three others from GenBank. These nine AGEs were divided into three groups: three IncpJBCL41 plasmids, Tn6417 and its two derivatives, and three Tn6879-related integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs). All blaIMP genes in this study were captured by class 1 integrons. In the integrons, blaIMP genes usually coexisted with other resistance genes, which further impeded clinical antibacterial treatment. The emergence of new IMP variants and the diversity and complexity of their genetic environment make the prevention and control of drug-resistant strains critical, requiring serious attention from clinical and public health management departments. IMPORTANCE The spread of IMP-type MBLs has increased dramatically in recent years. We discovered three novel IMP variants from three clinical isolates in China. We summarized the classification and evolutionary relationship of all available IMP variants. Moreover, we detailed the genetic characteristics of blaIMP-carrying accessory genetic elements in five clinical isolates. Given the risk of rapid and extensive spread of blaIMP genes, we suggest that continuous surveillance is crucial to combat the acquisition and transmission of blaIMP genes by bacteria, which can impede clinical therapy effectiveness.
