Persistent carriage and infection by multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli ST405 producing NDM-1 carbapenemase: report on the first Italian cases.

ABSTRACT: We report on the first detection of the NDM-1 carbapenemase in Italy, in Escherichia coli isolated in October 2009. Prolonged colonization and relapsing infection by NDM-1-positive E. coli were observed in a patient (index case) with an indirect epidemiological link with areas of endemicity. Transient colonization was apparently observed in another patient linked with the index case.

First description of an Escherichia coli strain producing NDM-1 carbapenemase in Spain.

Project description:A carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli strain (DVR22) was recovered from a stool specimen from a patient with traveler's diarrhea who had traveled to India. Molecular screening led to the first identification of NDM-1 in Spain. The bla(NDM-1) gene was located in a conjugative plasmid of ca. 300 kb that also contained the bla(CTX-M-15), bla(TEM-1), ?bla(DHA-1), and armA genes. In addition, bla(NDM-1) was preceded by an ISAba125 insertion element only found in Acinetobacter spp.

Cryptic transmission of ST405 Escherichia coli carrying bla NDM-4 in hospital.

Project description:Three carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli were recovered from rectal swabs of different patients in a tertiary hospital and were found carrying bla NDM-4, an uncommon bla NDM variant. Genome sequences of the isolates were obtained using Illumina technology and the long-read MinION sequencer. The isolates belonged to ST405 and phylogenetic group D, a globally distributed lineage associated with antimicrobial resistance. In addition to bla NDM-4, the three isolates carried 14 known resistance genes including the extended-spectrum ?-lactamase gene bla CTX-M-15. There were only 1 or 2 SNPs between the isolates, suggesting a common origin and cryptic transmission in hospital. bla NDM-4 was located on a 46.5-kb IncFIA self-transmissible plasmid, which may facilitate further dissemination of bla NDM-4. Two copies of IS26 bracketed a 14.6-kb region containing bla NDM-4 and have the potential to form a composite transposon for mediating the mobilization of bla NDM-4.

Cross-Border Emergence of Escherichia coli Producing the Carbapenemase NDM-5 in Switzerland and Germany.

Project description:A series of clinical NDM-5-producing Escherichia coli isolates obtained from two surveillance networks for carbapenem-producing Enterobacterales from 2018 to 2019, namely, Switzerland (NARA) and Germany (SurvCARE), were analyzed. The 33 NDM-5-producing E. coli isolates were highly resistant to β-lactams, including novel β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations (ceftazidime-avibactam, imipenem-relebactam, and meropenem-vaborbactam), and remained susceptible to fosfomycin, colistin, and tigecycline. These isolates were assigned to different sequence types (STs) and indicated a predominance of isolates exhibiting ST167 in Switzerland and Germany (n = 10) (phylogenetic group C), followed by ST405 (n = 4) (phylogenetic group E), ST1284 (n = 4) (phylogenetic group C), and ST361 (n = 4) (phylogenetic group C). The bla NDM-5 gene was predominantly present on an IncF-type plasmid (n = 29) and, to a lesser extent, on the narrow-host-range IncX3 plasmid (n = 4). Sequence analyses of eight NDM-5 plasmids indicated that NDM-5-encoding F-type plasmids varied in size between 86 and 132 kb. The two IncX3 plasmids pCH8NDM5 and pD12NDM5 were 46 and 45 kb in size, respectively. The highly conserved bla NDM-5 genetic surrounding structures (ΔISAba125-bla NDM-5-ble MBL-trpT-dsbD-IS26) of both the F-type and IncX3 plasmids suggested a common genetic origin. The emergence of the NDM-5 carbapenemase was evidenced in particular for the E. coli ST167 clone, which is a successful epidemic clone known to be associated with both multiresistance and virulence traits and is therefore of high public health concern. The occurrence of clonally related NDM-5-producing E. coli isolates in Switzerland and Germany further indicates the international spread of this multidrug-resistant superbug at least throughout Europe.

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.

Intestinal Carriage of Carbapenemase-Producing Organisms: Current Status of Surveillance Methods.

Project description:Carbapenemases have become a significant mechanism for broad-spectrum β-lactam resistance in Enterobacteriaceae and other Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter spp. Intestinal carriage of carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs) is an important source of transmission. Isolation of carriers is one strategy that can be used to limit the spread of these bacteria. In this review, we critically examine the clinical performance, advantages, and disadvantages of methods available for the detection of intestinal carriage of CPOs. Culture-based methods (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] protocols, chromogenic media, specialized agars, and double-disk synergy tests) for detecting carriage of CPOs are convenient due to their ready availability and low cost, but their limited sensitivity and long turnaround time may not always be optimal for infection control practices. Contemporary nucleic acid amplification techniques (NAATs) such as real-time PCR, hybridization assays, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), or a combined culture and NAAT approach may provide fast results and/or added sensitivity and specificity compared with culture-based methods. Infection control practitioners and clinical microbiologists should be aware of the strengths and limitations of available methods to determine the most suitable approach for their medical facility to fit their infection control needs.

Duration of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae Carriage in Hospital Patients.

Project description:To determine the duration of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) carriage, we studied 21 CPE carriers for »1 year. Mean carriage duration was 86 days; probability of decolonization in 1 year was 98.5%, suggesting that CPE-carriers' status can be reviewed yearly. Prolonged carriage was associated with use of antimicrobial drugs.

First identification of novel NDM carbapenemase, NDM-7, in Escherichia coli in France.

Project description:BackgroundThe NDM-1 carbapenemase has been identified in 2008 in Enterobacteriaceae. Since then, several reports have emphasized its rapid dissemination throughout the world. The spread of NDM carbapenemases involve several bla NDM gene variants associated with various plasmids among several Gram negative species.MethodologyA multidrug-resistant E. coli isolate recovered from urine of a patient who had travelled to Burma has been characterized genetically and biochemically.Principal findingsE. coli COU was resistant to all antibiotics tested except amikacin, tigecycline, fosfomycin, and chloramphenicol. Analysis of the antibiotic resistance traits identified a metallo-ß-lactamase, a novel NDM variant, NDM-7. It differs from NDM-4 by a single amino acid substitution sharing an identical extended spectrum profile towards carbapenems. The bla NDM-7 gene was located on an untypeable conjugative plasmid and associated with a close genetic background similar to those described among the bla NDM-1 genes. The isolate also harbours bla CTXM-15 and bla OXA-1 genes and belonged to ST167.SignificanceThis study highlights that spread of NDM producers correspond to spread of multiple bla NDM genes and clones and therefore will be difficult to control.

Characterization of an NDM-5 carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli ST156 isolate from a poultry farm in Zhejiang, China.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains has posed a severe threat to public health in recent years. The mobile elements carrying the New Delhi metallo-?-lactqtamase (NDM) gene have been regarded as the major mechanism leading to the rapid increase of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains isolated from clinics and animals. RESULTS:We describe an NDM-5-producing Escherichia coli strain, ECCRA-119 (sequence type 156 [ST156]), isolated from a poultry farm in Zhejiang, China. ECCRA-119 is a multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolate that exhibited resistance to 27 antimicrobial compounds, including imipenem and meropenem, as detected by antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). The complete genome sequence of the ECCRA-119 isolate was also obtained using the PacBio RS II platform. Eleven acquired resistance genes were identified in the chromosome; four were detected in plasmid pTB201, while six were detected in plasmid pTB202. Importantly, the carbapenem-resistant gene blaNDM-5 was detected in the IncX3 plasmid pTB203. In addition, seven virulence genes and one metal-resistance gene were also detected. The results of conjugation experiments and the transfer regions identification indicated that the blaNDM-5-harboring plasmid pTB203 could be transferred between E. coli strains. CONCLUSIONS:The results reflected the severe bacterial resistance in a poultry farm in Zhejiang province and increased our understanding of the presence and transmission of the blaNDM-5 gene.
