Strain-tailored double-disk synergy test detects extended-spectrum oxacillinases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

ABSTRACT: The prevalence of class D extended-spectrum oxacillinases (ES-OXAs) in ceftazidime-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is often underestimated by double-disk synergy tests (DDST) using clavulanate. A DDST with a customized distance between a disk of ceftazidime or cefepime and inhibitors (clavulanate and imipenem) detected 14 out of 15 different ES-OXAs.

Nationwide investigation of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases, metallo-beta-lactamases, and extended-spectrum oxacillinases produced by ceftazidime-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains in France.

Project description:A nationwide study aimed to identify the extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs), and extended-spectrum oxacillinases (ES-OXAs) in a French collection of 140 clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates highly resistant to ceftazidime. Six ESBLs (PER-1, n=3; SHV-2a, n=2; VEB-1a, n=1), four MBLs (VIM-2, n=3; IMP-18, n=1), and five ES-OXAs (OXA-19, n=4; OXA-28, n=1) were identified in 13 isolates (9.3% of the collection). The prevalence of these enzymes is still low in French clinical P. aeruginosa isolates but deserves to be closely monitored.

Extended-spectrum cephalosporinases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:The characterization of AmpC-type beta-lactamases was performed in a collection of 32 clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates with intermediate susceptibility or resistance to imipenem and ceftazidime. Twenty-one out of those 32 isolates overexpressed AmpC beta-lactamase, and the MICs of ceftazidime and imipenem were reduced after cloxacillin addition. Cloning and sequencing identified 10 AmpC beta-lactamase variants. Reduced susceptibility to imipenem, ceftazidime, and cefepime was observed only with recombinant P. aeruginosa strains expressing an AmpC beta-lactamase that had an alanine residue at position 105. The catalytic efficiencies (k(cat)/K(m)) of the AmpC variants possessing this residue were increased against oxyiminocephalosporins and imipenem. In addition, we show here that those AmpC variants constitute a favorable background for the in vitro selection of imipenem-resistant strains. This report identified a novel resistance mechanism that may contribute to imipenem resistance in P. aeruginosa.

QSAR Models for Active Substances against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Using Disk-Diffusion Test Data

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacillus included among the six “ESKAPE” microbial species with an outstanding ability to “escape” currently used antibiotics and developing new antibiotics against it is of the highest priority. Whereas minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been used previously for QSAR model development, disk diffusion results (inhibition zones) have not been apparently used for this purpose in the literature and we decided to explore their use in this sense. We developed multiple QSAR methods using several machine learning algorithms (support vector classifier, K nearest neighbors, random forest classifier, decision tree classifier, AdaBoost classifier, logistic regression and naïve Bayes classifier). We used four sets of molecular descriptors and fingerprints and three different methods of data balancing, together with the “native” data set. In total, 32 models were built for each set of descriptors or fingerprint and balancing method, of which 28 were selected and stacked to create meta-models. In terms of balanced accuracy, the best performance was provided by KNN, logistic regression and decision tree classifier, but the ensemble method had slightly superior results in nested cross-validation.

An SHV-derived extended-spectrum beta-lactamase in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:A clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa RP-1 produced the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) SHV-2a. Its gene was expressed from a composite promoter made of the -35 region derived from the left inverted repeat of IS26 and the -10 region from the blaSHV-2a promoter itself. The DNA sequences immediately surrounding blaSHV-2a were homologous to plasmid pMPA2a from Klebsiella pneumoniae KpZU-3, while further away and 3' to the blaSHV-2a gene, a sequence corresponding to the left end of Tn1721 was detected, thus indicating a likely enterobacterial origin of this ESBL gene.

PME-1, an extended-spectrum β-lactamase identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:A novel extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) was identified in a Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolate obtained from a patient admitted to a hospital in Pennsylvania in 2008. The patient had a prolonged hospitalization in a hospital in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, before being transferred to the United States. The novel ESBL, designated PME-1 (Pseudomonas aeruginosa ESBL 1), is a molecular class A, Bush-Jacoby-Medeiros group 2be enzyme and shared 50, 43, and 41% amino acid identity with the L2 β-lactamase of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, CTX-M-9, and KPC-2, respectively. PME-1 conferred clinically relevant resistance to ceftazidime, cefotaxime, cefepime, and aztreonam in P. aeruginosa PAO1 but not to carbapenems. Purified PME-1 showed good hydrolytic activity against ceftazidime, cefotaxime, and aztreonam, while activity against carbapenems and cefepime could not be measured. PME-1 was inhibited well by β-lactamase inhibitors, including clavulanic acid, sulbactam, and tazobactam. The bla(PME-1) gene was carried by an approximately 9-kb plasmid and flanked by tandem ISCR24 elements.

Detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:With the occurrence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa being increasingly reported worldwide, there is a need for a reliable test to detect ESBLs in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa. In our study, a total of 75 clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa were studied. Nitrocefin tests were performed to detect the beta-lactamase enzyme; isoelectric focusing electrophoresis, PCR, and PCR product sequencing were designed to further characterize the contained ESBLs. Various ESBL-screening methods were designed to compare the reliabilities of detecting ESBLs in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa whose beta-lactamases were well characterized. Thirty-four of 36 multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa clinical isolates were positive for ESBLs. bla(VEB-3) was the most prevalent ESBL gene in P. aeruginosa in our study. Among the total of 34 isolates that were considered ESBL producers, 20 strains were positive using conventional combined disk tests and 10 strains were positive using a conventional double-disk synergy test (DDST) with amoxicillin-clavulanate, expanded-spectrum cephalosporins, aztreonam, and cefepime. Modifications of the combined disk test and DDST, which consisted of shorter distances between disks (20 mm instead of 30 mm) and the use of three different plates that contained cloxacillin (200 microg/ml) alone, Phe-Arg beta-naphthylamide dihydrochloride (MC-207,110; 20 microg/ml) alone, and both cloxacillin (200 microg/ml) and MC-207,110 (20 microg/ml) increased the sensitivity of the tests to 78.8%, 91.18%, 85.29%, and 97.06%.

BEL-2, an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase with increased activity toward expanded-spectrum cephalosporins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:A Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate recovered in Belgium produced a novel extended-spectrum ss-lactamase, BEL-2, differing from BEL-1 by a single Leu162Phe substitution. That modification significantly altered the kinetic properties of the enzyme, increasing its affinity for expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. The bla(BEL-2) gene was identified from a P. aeruginosa isolate clonally related to another bla(BEL-1)-positive isolate.

IS1999 increases expression of the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase VEB-1 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:The integron-borne bla(VEB-1) gene encodes an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase. This gene was associated mostly with IS1999 and rarely with an additional IS2000 element in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from Thailand, whereas IS1999 was only very rarely associated with bla(VEB-1) in Enterobacteriaceae. Expression experiments and promoter study identified promoter sequences in IS1999 that increased the expression of VEB-1 in P. aeruginosa.

OXA-18, a class D clavulanic acid-inhibited extended-spectrum beta-lactamase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:Clinical isolate Pseudomonas aeruginosa Mus showed resistance both to extended-spectrum cephalosporins and to aztreonam. We detected a typical double-disk synergy image when ceftazidime or aztreonam was placed next to a clavulanic acid disk on an agar plate. This resistance phenotype suggested the presence of an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase. Isoelectric focusing revealed that this strain produced three beta-lactamases, of pI 5.5, 7.4, and 8.2. A 2.6-kb Sau3A fragment encoding the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase of pI 5.5 was cloned from P. aeruginosa Mus genomic DNA. This enzyme, named OXA-18, had a relative molecular mass of 30.6 kDa. OXA-18 has a broad substrate profile, hydrolyzing amoxicillin, ticarcillin, cephalothin, ceftazidime, cefotaxime, and aztreonam, but not imipenem or cephamycins. Its activity was totally inhibited by clavulanic acid at 2 microg/ml. Hydrolysis constants of OXA-18 (Vmax, Km) confirmed the MIC results. Cloxacillin and oxacillin hydrolysis was noticeable with the partially purified OXA-18. The blaOXA-18 gene encodes a 275-amino-acid protein which has weak identity with all class D beta-lactamases except OXA-9 and OXA-12 (45 and 42% amino acid identity, respectively). OXA-18 is likely to be chromosomally encoded since no plasmid was found in the strain and because attempts to transfer the resistance marker failed. OXA-18 is peculiar since it is a class D beta-lactamase which confers high resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins and seems to have unique hydrolytic properties among non-class A enzymes.

Integron-encoded GES-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamase with increased activity toward aztreonam in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:A Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain expresses an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase, GES-9, which differs from GES-1 by a Gly243Ser substitution, is inhibited by clavulanic acid and imipenem, and hydrolyzes aztreonam. The bla(GES-9) gene was located inside a class 1 integron structure containing two copies of a novel insertion sequence belonging to the IS1111 family.
