Complete nucleotide sequence of Klebsiella pneumoniae multidrug resistance plasmid pKP048, carrying blaKPC-2, blaDHA-1, qnrB4, and armA.

ABSTRACT: The Klebsiella pneumoniae multidrug resistance plasmid pKP048 was completely sequenced. This plasmid carries several important resistance determinants, such as bla(KPC-2), bla(DHA-1), qnrB4, and armA, which confer resistance to carbapenems, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, and aminoglycosides, respectively. Analysis of the finished 151,188-bp sequence data revealed 163 putative genes, 108 of which were assigned functions such as replication, stable inheritance, antibiotic resistance, a mobile element, conjugal transfer, and a restriction-modification system, showing the strong phylogenetic mosaicism and plasticity of the plasmid.

Comparative analysis of an IncR plasmid carrying armA, blaDHA-1 and qnrB4 from Klebsiella pneumoniae ST37 isolates.

Project description:ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis with reported IncR plasmids of a Klebsiella pneumoniae IncR plasmid carrying an MDR region.MethodsMDR K. pneumoniae isolates were serially identified from two inpatients at a hospital in the USA in 2014. MDR plasmid pYDC676 was fully sequenced, annotated and compared with related plasmids. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing, PFGE and MLST were also conducted.ResultsThe K. pneumoniae isolates were identical by PFGE, belonged to ST37 and harboured an identical ∼50 kb IncR plasmid (pYDC676). pYDC676 possessed the backbone and multi-IS loci closely related to IncR plasmids reported from aquatic bacteria, as well as animal and human K. pneumoniae strains, and carried an MDR region consisting of armA, blaDHA-1 and qnrB4, a combination that has been reported in IncR plasmids from K. pneumoniae ST11 strains in Europe and Asia. A plasmid with the identical IncR backbone and a similar MDR region containing blaDHA-1 and qnrB4 has also been reported in ST37 strains from Europe, suggesting potential dissemination of this lineage of IncR plasmids in K. pneumoniae ST37.ConclusionsK. pneumoniae ST37 strains with an MDR IncR plasmid carrying armA, blaDHA-1 and qnrB4 were identified in a hospital in the USA, where these resistance genes remain rare. The IncR backbone may play a role in the global dissemination of these resistance genes.

Complete nucleotide sequence of Klebsiella pneumoniae multiresistance plasmid pJHCMW1.

Project description:The multiresistance plasmid pJHCMW1, harbored by a clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae strain isolated from a neonate with meningitis, was sequenced. A circular sequence of 11,354 bp was generated, of which 7,993 bp make up Tn1331, a transposon including the antibiotic resistance genes aac(6')-Ib, aadA1, bla(OXA-9), and bla(TEM-1). The gene aac(6')-Ib is included in a gene cassette, and both aadA1 and bla(OXA-9) are included in a single-gene cassette that may have arisen as a consequence of a recombination event involving two integrons. The pJHCMW1 plasmid replicates through a ColE1-like RNA-regulated mechanism, includes a functional oriT, and two loci with similarity to XerCD site-specific recombination target sites involved in plasmid stabilization by the resolution of multimers. One of these two loci, mwr, is active and has been the subject of previous studies, and the other, dxs, is not functional but binds the recombinase XerD with low affinity. Two additional open reading frames were identified, one with low similarity to two hypothetical membrane proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae and the other with low similarity to psiB, a gene encoding a function that facilitates the establishment of the transferring plasmid in the recipient bacterial cell during the process of conjugation.

Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 11 from companion animals bearing ArmA methyltransferase, DHA-1 ?-lactamase, and QnrB4.

Project description:Seven Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from dogs and cats in Spain were found to be highly resistant to aminoglycosides, and ArmA methyltransferase was responsible for this phenotype. All isolates were typed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) as ST11, a human epidemic clone reported worldwide and associated with, among others, OXA-48 and NDM carbapenemases. In the seven strains, armA was borne by an IncR plasmid, pB1025, of 50 kb. The isolates were found to coproduce DHA-1 and SHV-11 ?-lactamases, as well as the QnrB4 resistance determinant. This first report of the ArmA methyltransferase in pets illustrates their importance as a reservoir for human multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae.

Prevalence of Carbapenem-Resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Co-Harboring blaKPC-Carrying Plasmid and pLVPK-Like Virulence Plasmid in Bloodstream Infections.

Project description:This study aimed to characterize carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) co-harboring bla KPC-2-carrying plasmid and pLVPK-like virulence plasmid. Between December 2017 and April 2018, 24 CR-KP isolates were recovered from 24 patients with bacteremia. The mortality was 66.7%. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing results indicated four clusters, of which cluster A (n = 21, 87.5%) belonged to ST11 and the three remaining isolates (ST412, ST65, ST23) had different pulsotypes (cluster B, C, D). The bla KPC-2-carrying plasmids all belonged to IncFIIK type, and the size ranged from 100 to 390 kb. Nineteen strains (79.2%) had a 219-kb virulence plasmid possessed high similarity to pLVPK from CG43 with serotype K2. Two strains had a 224-kb virulence plasmid resembled plasmid pK2044 from K. pneumoniae NTUH-K2044(ST23). Moreover, three strains carried three different hybrid resistance- and virulence-encoding plasmids. Conjugation assays showed that both bla KPC-2 and rmpA2 genes could be successfully transferred to E. coli J53 in 62.5% of the strains at frequencies of 4.5 × 10-6 to 2.4 × 10-4, of which three co-transferred bla KPC-2 along with rmpA2 in large plasmids. Infection assays in the Galleria mellonella model demonstrated the virulence level of these isolates was found to be consistently higher than that of classic Klebsiella pneumoniae. In conclusion, CR-KP co-harboring bla KPC-2-carrying plasmid and pLVPK-like virulence plasmid were characterized by multi-drug resistance, enhanced virulence, and transferability, and should, therefore, be regarded as a real superbug that could pose a serious threat to public health. Hence, heightened efforts are urgently needed to avoid its co-transmission of the virulent plasmid (gene) and resistant plasmid (gene) in clinical isolates.

Complete nucleotide sequence of two multidrug-resistant IncR plasmids from Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Project description:We report here the complete nucleotide sequence of two IncR replicons encoding multidrug resistance determinants, including β-lactam (blaDHA-1, blaSHV-12), aminoglycoside (aphA1, strA, strB), and fluoroquinolone (qnrB4, aac6'-1b-cr) resistance genes. The plasmids have backbones that are similar to each other, including the replication and stability systems, and contain a wide variety of transposable elements carrying known antibiotic resistance genes. This study confirms the increasing clinical importance of IncR replicons as resistance gene carriers.

Complete nucleotide sequences of blaKPC-4- and blaKPC-5-harboring IncN and IncX plasmids from Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated in New Jersey.

Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae have emerged as major nosocomial pathogens. bla(KPC), commonly located on Tn4401, is found in Gram-negative bacterial strains, with the two most common variants, bla(KPC-2) and bla(KPC-3), identified in plasmids with diverse genetic backgrounds. In this study, we examined bla(KPC-4)- and bla(KPC-5)-bearing plasmids recovered from two K. pneumoniae strains, which were isolated from a single New Jersey hospital in 2005 and 2006, respectively. IncN plasmid pBK31551 is 84 kb in length and harbors bla(KPC-4), bla(TEM-1), qnrB2, aac(3)-Ib, aph(3')-I, qacF, qacE?1, sul1, and dfrA14, which confer resistance to ?-lactams, quinolones, aminoglycosides, quaternary ammonium compounds, and co-trimoxazole. The conserved regions within pBK31551 are similar to those of other IncN plasmids. Surprisingly, analysis of the Tn4401 sequence revealed a large IS110- and Tn6901-carrying element (8.3 kb) inserted into the istA gene, encoding glyoxalase/bleomycin resistance, alcohol dehydrogenase, and S-formylglutathione hydrolase. Plasmid pBK31567 is 47 kb in length and harbors bla(KPC-5), dfrA5, qacE?1, and sul1. pBK31567 belongs to a novel IncX subgroup (IncX5) and possesses a highly syntenic plasmid backbone like other IncX plasmids; however, sequence similarity at the nucleotide level is divergent. The bla(KPC-5) gene is carried on a Tn4401 element and differs from the genetic environment of bla(KPC-5) described in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain P28 from Puerto Rico. This study underscores the genetic diversity of multidrug-resistant plasmids involved in the spread of bla(KPC) genes and highlights the mobility and plasticity of Tn4401. Comparative genomic analysis provides new insights into the evolution and dissemination of KPC plasmids belonging to different incompatibility groups.

Two clinical strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae carrying plasmid-borne blaIMP-4, blaSHV-12, and armA isolated at a Pediatric Center in Shanghai, China.

Project description:Two cases of pulmonary infection due to strains of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae were investigated. Beta-lactamase determinants, such as bla(IMP-4) and bla(SHV-12), and the 16S rRNA methyltransferase-encoding gene armA were detected in these plasmid-bearing organisms. The integron-borne bla(IMP-4) and armA contained intervening sequences highly related to those of a Vibrio cholerae O139 plasmid found in Hangzhou, China.

Complete nucleotide sequence of pCTX-M360, an intermediate plasmid between pEL60 and pCTX-M3, from a multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain isolated in China.

Project description:In this work we report the characterization of plasmid pCTX-M360, isolated from a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain from China and encoding the CTX-M-3 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase. Sequence analysis of pCTX-M360 revealed extensive similarity with pEL60 and pCTX-M3, two other enterobacterial plasmids of the IncL/M incompatibility group. Compared to pEL60, pCTX-M360 contains several insertions but lacks most of a 27-kb insert found in pCTX-M3, suggesting that it could be an evolutionary intermediate between pEL60 and pCTX-M3.
