Characterization of pKP1433, a novel KPC-2-encoding plasmid from Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 340.

ABSTRACT: The nucleotide sequence of pKP1433 (55,417 bp), a blaKPC-2-carrying plasmid from Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 340, was determined. pKP1433 displayed extensive sequence and structural similarities with the IncN plasmids possessing the KPC-2-encoding Tn4401b isoform. However, the replication, partitioning, and stability of pKP1433 were determined by sequences related to diverse non-IncN plasmids.

Identification of a Novel Hybrid Plasmid Encoding KPC-2 and Virulence Factors in Klebsiella pneumoniae Sequence Type 11.

Project description:Recent emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) coharboring blaKPC-2 and pLVPK-like virulence plasmids represented a novel clinical challenge. In the present study, we characterized a blaKPC-2 and virulence hybrid plasmid, designated pCRHV-C2244, from a clinical ST11-K64 CRKP strain. pCRHV-C2244 was non-self-transmissible due to incomplete conjugative elements but mobilizable together with a conjugative helper. Enhanced virulence and stable maintenance without significant fitness loss in its original host were confirmed in vitro and in vivo.

Complete nucleotide sequence of KPC-3-encoding plasmid pKpQIL in the epidemic Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 258.

Project description:We have determined the entire DNA sequence of plasmid pKpQIL, the bla(KPC-3)-carrying plasmid harbored by the carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clone sequence type 258 (ST 258) in Israel. pKpQIL is a 113,637-bp, self-transmissible plasmid that belongs to the incompatibility group IncFII. It consists of a large backbone of a pKPN4-like plasmid and carries the bla(KPC-3)-containing Tn4401a transposon of a pNYC-like plasmid.

Complete nucleotide sequence of the first KPC-2- and SHV-12-encoding IncX plasmid, pKpS90, from Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Project description:We report the complete nucleotide sequence of the pKpS90 plasmid, carrying the bla(KPC-2) and bla(SHV-12) genes. This plasmid was isolated from a sequence type 258 (ST258) Klebsiella pneumoniae strain responsible for an outbreak in a French university hospital in 2009. pKpS90 is a 53,286-bp plasmid that belongs to the IncX incompatibility group. pKpS90 consists of a backbone from IncX plasmids, in which the KPC-2-encoding Tn4401 transposon and a bla(SHV-12)-encoding region have been inserted.

pKBuS13, a KPC-2-encoding plasmid from Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 833, carrying Tn4401b inserted into an Xer site-specific recombination locus.

Project description:Here, we report the first detection of a Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase 2 (KPC-2)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strain belonging to sequence type 833 (ST833), collected in an Italian hospital from a patient coming from South America. Its bla KPC determinant was carried by a ColE1 plasmid, pKBuS13, that showed the Tn4401b::bla KPC-2 transposon inserted into the regulatory region of an Xer site-specific recombination locus. This interfered with the correct resolution of plasmid multimers into monomers, lowering plasmid stability and leading to overestimation of the number of plasmids harbored by a single host cell. Sequencing of the fragments adjacent to Tn4401b detected a region that did not have significant matches in databases other than the genome of a carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli strain collected during the same year at a hospital in Boston. This is interesting in an epidemiologic context, as it suggests that despite the absence of tra genes and the instability under nonselective conditions, the circulation of pKBuS13 or of analogous plasmids might be wider than reported.

Complete sequences of KPC-2-encoding plasmid p628-KPC and CTX-M-55-encoding p628-CTXM coexisted in Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Project description:A carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain 628 was isolated from a human case of intracranial infection in a Chinese teaching hospital. Strain 628 produces KPC-2 and CTX-M-55 encoded by two different conjugative plasmids, i.e., the IncFIIK plasmid p628-KPC and the IncI1 plasmid p628-CTXM respectively. bla KPC-2 is captured by a Tn1722-based unit transposon with a linear structure. ΔTn3-ISKpn27-bla KPC-2-ΔISKpn6-ΔTn1722 and this transposon together with a mercury resistance (mer) gene locus constitutes a 34 kb acquired drug-resistance region. bla KPC-2 has two transcription starts (nucleotides G and C located at 39 and 250 bp upstream of its coding region respectively) which correspond to two promoters, i.e., the intrinsic P1 and the upstream ISKpn27/Tn3-provided P2 with the core -35/-10 elements TAATCC/TTACAT and TTGACA/AATAAT respectively. bla CTX-M-55 is mobilized in an ISEcp1-bla CTX-M-55-Δorf477 transposition unit and appears to be the sole drug-resistant determinant in p628-CTXM. bla CTX-M-55 possesses a single transcription start (nucleotides G located at 116 bp upstream of its coding region) corresponding to the ISEcp1-provided P1 promoter with the core -35/-10 element TTGAAA/TACAAT. All the above detected promoters display a characteristic of constitutive expression. Coexistence of bla KPC and bla CTX-M in K. pneumoniae has been reported many times but this is the first report to gain deep insights into genetic platforms, promoters, and expression of the two coexisting bla genes with determination of entire nucleotide sequences of the two corresponding plasmids.

Complete sequence of a bla(KPC-2)-harboring IncFII(K1) plasmid from a Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 258 strain.

Project description:We report the nucleotide sequence of a novel bla(KPC-2)-harboring IncFII(K1) plasmid, pBK32179, isolated from a carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 strain from a New York City patient. pBK32179 is 165 kb long, consists of a large backbone of pKPN3-like plasmid, and carries an 18.5-kb bla(KPC-2)-containing element that is highly similar to plasmid pKpQIL. pBK32179-like plasmids were identified in 8.3% of strains in a collection of 96 K. pneumoniae isolates from hospitals in the New York City area.

Genomic characterization of novel IncFII-type multidrug resistant plasmids p0716-KPC and p12181-KPC from Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Project description:This study aimed to genetically characterize two fully-sequenced novel IncFII-type multidrug resistant (MDR) plasmids, p0716-KPC and p12181-KPC, recovered from two different clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. p0716-KPC and p12181-KPC had a very similar genomic content. The backbones of p0716-KPC/p12181-KPC contained two different replicons (belonging to a novel IncFII subtype and the Rep_3 family), the IncFIIK and IncFIIY maintenance regions, and conjugal transfer gene sets from IncFIIK-type plasmids and unknown origins. p0716-KPC and p12181-KPC carried similar three accessory resistance regions, namely ΔTn6209, a MDR region, and the bla KPC-2 region. Resistance genes bla KPC-2, mph(A), strAB, aacC2, qacEΔ1, sul1, sul2, and dfrA25, which are associated with transposons, integrons, and insertion sequence-based mobile units, were located in these accessory regions. p0716-KPC carried two additional resistance genes: aphA1a and bla TEM-1. Together, our analyses showed that p0716-KPC and p12181-KPC belong to a novel IncFII subtype and display a complex chimeric nature, and that the carbapenem resistance gene bla KPC-2 coexists with a lot of additional resistance genes on these two plasmids.

Characterization of pKP-M1144, a Novel ColE1-Like Plasmid Encoding IMP-8, GES-5, and BEL-1 β-Lactamases, from a Klebsiella pneumoniae Sequence Type 252 Isolate.

Project description:IMP-8 metallo-β-lactamase was identified in Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 252 (ST252), isolated in a Portuguese hospital in 2009. blaIMP-8 was the first gene cassette of a novel class 3 integron, In1144, also carrying the blaGES-5, blaBEL-1, and aacA4 cassettes. In1144 was located on a ColE1-like plasmid, pKP-M1144 (12,029 bp), with a replication region of limited nucleotide similarity to those of other RNA-priming plasmids, such as pJHCMW1. In1144 and pKP-M1144 represent an interesting case of evolution of resistance determinants in Gram-negative bacteria.
