Characterization of a SPM-1 metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa by comparative genomics and phenotypic analysis.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common pathogens related to healthcare-associated infections. The Brazilian isolate, named CCBH4851, is a multidrug-resistant clone belonging to the sequence type 277. The antimicrobial resistance mechanisms of the CCBH4851 strain are associated with the presence of the bla[Formula: see text] gene, encoding a metallo-beta-lactamase, in combination with other exogenously acquired genes. Whole-genome sequencing studies focusing on emerging pathogens are essential to identify key features of their physiology that may lead to the identification of new targets for therapy. Using both Illumina and PacBio sequencing data, we obtained a single contig representing the CCBH4851 genome with annotated features that were consistent with data reported for the species. However, comparative analysis with other Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains revealed genomic differences regarding virulence factors and regulatory proteins. In addition, we performed phenotypic assays that revealed CCBH4851 is impaired in bacterial motilities and biofilm formation. On the other hand, CCBH4851 genome contained acquired genomic islands that carry transcriptional factors, virulence and antimicrobial resistance-related genes. Presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the core genome, mainly those located in resistance-associated genes, suggests that these mutations may also influence the multidrug-resistant behavior of CCBH4851. Overall, characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa CCBH4851 complete genome revealed the presence of features that strongly relates to the virulence and antibiotic resistance profile of this important infectious agent.

Biochemical characterization of the acquired metallo-beta-lactamase SPM-1 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:SPM-1 is a new metallo-beta-lactamase recently identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain 48-1997A, isolated in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Kinetic analysis demonstrated that SPM-1 has a broad hydrolytic profile across a wide range of beta-lactam antibiotics. Considerable variation was observed within the penicillin, cephalosporin, and carbapenem subfamilies; however, on the whole, SPM-1 appears to preferentially hydrolyze cephalosporins. The highest k(cat/)K(m) ratios (in micromolar per second) overall were observed for this subgroup. The hydrolytic profile of SPM-1 bears the most similarity to that of the metallo-beta-lactamase IMP-1, yet for the most part, SPM-1 has k(cat)/K(m) values higher than those of IMP-1. Zinc chelator studies established that progressive inhibition of SPM-1 by EDTA, dipicolinic acid, and 1-10-o-phenanthroline demonstrated a biexponential pattern in which none of the chelators completely inhibited SPM-1. A homology model of SPM-1 was developed on the basis of the IMP-1 crystal structure, which showed the protein folding and active-site structure characteristic of metallo-beta-lactamases and which provides an explanation for the kinetic profiles observed.

Epidemiology and Characteristics of Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:Metallo-β-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MPPA) is an important nosocomial pathogen that shows resistance to all β-lactam antibiotics except monobactams. There are various types of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) in carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa including Imipenemase (IMP), Verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamase (VIM), Sao Paulo metallo-β-lactamase (SPM), Germany imipenemase (GIM), New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM), Florence imipenemase (FIM). Each MBL gene is located on specific genetic elements including integrons, transposons, plasmids, or on the chromosome, in which they carry genes encoding determinants of resistance to carbapenems and other antibiotics, conferring multidrug resistance to P. aeruginosa. In addition, these genetic elements are transferable to other Gram-negative species, increasing the antimicrobial resistance rate and complicating the treatment of infected patients. Therefore, it is essential to understand the epidemiology, resistance mechanism, and molecular characteristics of MPPA for infection control and prevention of a possible global health crisis. Here, we highlight the characteristics of MPPA.

Intraclonal Genome Stability of the Metallo-β-lactamase SPM-1-producing <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> ST277, an Endemic Clone Disseminated in Brazilian Hospitals.

Project description:Carbapenems represent the mainstay therapy for the treatment of serious P. aeruginosa infections. However, the emergence of carbapenem resistance has jeopardized the clinical use of this important class of compounds. The production of SPM-1 metallo-β-lactamase has been the most common mechanism of carbapenem resistance identified in P. aeruginosa isolated from Brazilian medical centers. Interestingly, a single SPM-1-producing P. aeruginosa clone belonging to the ST277 has been widely spread within the Brazilian territory. In the current study, we performed a next-generation sequencing of six SPM-1-producing P. aeruginosa ST277 isolates. The core genome contains 5899 coding genes relative to the reference strain P. aeruginosa PAO1. A total of 26 genomic islands were detected in these isolates. We identified remarkable elements inside these genomic islands, such as copies of the blaSPM-1 gene conferring resistance to carbapenems and a type I-C CRISPR-Cas system, which is involved in protection of the chromosome against foreign DNA. In addition, we identified single nucleotide polymorphisms causing amino acid changes in antimicrobial resistance and virulence-related genes. Together, these factors could contribute to the marked resistance and persistence of the SPM-1-producing P. aeruginosa ST277 clone. A comparison of the SPM-1-producing P. aeruginosa ST277 genomes showed that their core genome has a high level nucleotide similarity and synteny conservation. The variability observed was mainly due to acquisition of genomic islands carrying several antibiotic resistance genes.

Nosocomial outbreak caused by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing IMP-13 metallo-beta-lactamase.

Project description:An outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa showing a multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotype (including carbapenems, ceftazidime, cefepime, gentamicin, tobramycin, and fluoroquinolones) was observed, during a 5-month period, in a general intensive care unit of a large tertiary care and clinical research hospital in southern Italy. The outbreak involved 15 patients, with a total of 87 isolates, mostly from lower respiratory tract specimens. Analysis of isolates involved in the outbreak revealed production of metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) activity, and genotyping by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of genomic DNA digested by SpeI revealed clonal relatedness among isolates. Molecular analysis of the MBL determinant showed the presence of a bla(IMP-13) gene carried on a gene cassette inserted in a class 1 integron which also contained an aacA4 aminoglycoside resistance cassette encoding an AAC(6')-Ib enzyme. The bla(IMP-13)-containing integron and its genetic environment appeared to be similar to those found in P. aeruginosa isolates producing IMP-13 from a hospital in Rome. The bla(IMP-13) gene was not transferable by conjugation and was apparently carried on the chromosome. The outbreak was coincidental with a shortage of nursing personnel, and resolution was apparently associated with reinstatement of nursing personnel and reinforcement of general infection control practices within the intensive care unit. To our best knowledge this is the first description of a nosocomial outbreak of relatively large size caused by an IMP-producing gram-negative pathogen in Europe.

Novel bacteriophage therapy for controlling metallo-beta-lactamase producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in catfish.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The bacteriophage therapy is an effective antimicrobial approach with potentially important applications in medicine and biotechnology which can be seen as an additional string in the bow. Emerging drug resistant bacteria in aquaculture industry due to unrestricted use of antibiotics warrants more sustainable and environmental friendly strategies for controlling fish infections.The isolated bacteria from fish lesions was characterised based on isolation on selective and differential medium like Pseudomonas agar, gram staining, biochemical tests and 16SrRNA sequencing. The metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) producing bacterial isolate was evaluated using Imipenem - Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) disk method. The specific bacteriophage was isolated and concentrated using coal bed developed in our lab at CSIR-NEERI. The isolated and enriched bacteriophage was characterised by nucleotide sequencing and electron microscopy. The phage therapy was applied for treating ulcerative lesion in fish. RESULTS: The pathogenic bacterium responsible for causing ulcerative lesions in catfish species (Clarias gariepinus) was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. One out of twenty P. aeruginosa isolate showing multi drug resistance (MDR) was incidentally found to be MBL producing as determined by Imipenem-EDTA disk method. The phage therapy effectively cured the ulcerative lesions of the infected fish in 8-10 days of treatment, with a sevenfold reduction of the lesion with untreated infection control. CONCLUSION: Bacteriophage therapy can have potential applications soon as an alternative or as a complement to antibiotic treatment in the aquaculture. We present bacteriophage therapy as a treatment method for controlling MDR P. aeruginosa infection in C. gariepinus. To the best of our knowledge this is a first report of application of phage therapy against MBL producing P. aeruginosa isolated from aquatic ecosystem.

Molecular analysis of metallo-beta-lactamase gene bla(SPM-1)-surrounding sequences from disseminated Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in Recife, Brazil.

Project description:The spread of clonally related carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing the metallo-beta-lactamase SPM-1 was found in Recife, Brazil. Upstream of bla(SPM-1), a novel common region (CR4) was identified, comprising an open reading frame, orf495, whose product shares significant identity with putative recombinases, such as Orf513. CR4 may be responsible for mobilization and expression of bla(SPM-1).

Coproduction of novel 16S rRNA methylase RmtD and metallo-beta-lactamase SPM-1 in a panresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate from Brazil.

Project description:Serious infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa are frequently treated with the combination of a beta-lactam antimicrobial and an aminoglycoside. P. aeruginosa strain PA0905 was isolated in 2005 from an inpatient in Brazil. It showed a panresistant phenotype that included resistance to beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, and fluoroquinolones. The beta-lactam resistance was conferred by the production of the metallo-beta-lactamase SPM-1. No inhibitory zone was observed when a disk diffusion test was performed with the semisynthetic aminoglycoside arbekacin, raising suspicion of 16S rRNA methylase production. A cloning experiment subsequently revealed the presence of a novel 16S rRNA methylase, RmtD, which accounted for the high-level resistance to all 4,6-disubstituted deoxystreptamine aminoglycosides, such as amikacin, tobramycin, and gentamicin. RmtD shared a moderate degree of identity with RmtA, another 16S rRNA methylase that was initially reported to occur in P. aeruginosa in Japan in 2003. This is the first identification of aminoglycoside resistance mediated by a 16S rRNA methylase in South America. This is also the first report to document coproduction of a metallo-beta-lactamase and a 16S rRNA methylase, a combination that would severely compromise therapeutic options for the infected patients.

Mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in endemic Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates after an SPM-1 metallo-?-lactamase producing strain subsided in an intensive care unit of a teaching hospital in Brazil.

Project description:Carbapenem-resistance mechanisms are a challenge in the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. We investigated changes in P. aeruginosa carbapenem-resistance determinants over a time period of eight years after the emergence of São Paulo metallo-?-lactamase in a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) were screened for P. aeruginosa colonisation and followed for the occurrence of infections from April 2007 to April 2008. The ICU environment was also sampled. Isolates were typed using random amplified polymorphic DNA, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by disk diffusion and E-test, production of carbapenemases by a modified-CarbaNP test and presence of carbapenemase-encoding genes by polymerase chain reaction. Non-carbapenemase resistance mechanisms studied included efflux and AmpC overexpression by PA?N and cloxacillin susceptibility enhancement, respectively, as well as oprD mutations. From 472 P. aeruginosa clinical isolates (93 patients) and 17 isolates from the ICU environment, high genotypic diversity and several international clones were observed; one environment isolate belonged to the blaSPM-1 P. aeruginosa epidemic genotype. Among isolates from infections, 10 (29%) were carbapenem resistant: none produced carbapenemases, three exhibited all non-carbapenemase mechanisms studied, six presented a combination of two mechanisms, and one exclusively displayed oprD mutations. Carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa displayed a polyclonal profile after the SPM-1 epidemic genotype declined. This phenomenon is connected with blaSPM-1 P. aeruginosa replaced by other carbapenem-resistant pathogens.

Multifocal outbreaks of metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistant to broad-spectrum beta-lactams, including carbapenems.

Project description:A total of 3,700 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were collected from 17 general hospitals in Japan from 1992 to 1994. Of these isolates, 132 carbapenem-resistant strains were subjected to DNA hybridization analysis with the metallo-beta-lactamase gene (blaIMP)-specific probe. Fifteen strains carrying the metallo-beta-lactamase gene were identified in five hospitals in different geographical areas. Three strains of P. aeruginosa demonstrated high-level imipenem resistance (MIC, > or = 128 micrograms/ml), two strains exhibited low-level imipenem resistance (MIC, < or = 4 micrograms/ml), and the rest of the strains were in between. These results revealed that the acquisition of a metallo-beta-lactamase gene alone does not necessarily confer elevated resistance to carbapenems. In several strains, the metallo-beta-lactamase gene was carried by large plasmids, and carbapenem resistance was transferred from P. aeruginosa to Escherichia coli by electroporation in association with the acquisition of the large plasmid. Southern hybridization analysis and genomic DNA fingerprinting profiles revealed different genetic backgrounds for these 15 isolates, although considerable similarity was observed for the strains isolated from the same hospital. These findings suggest that the metallo-beta-lactamase-producing P. aeruginosa strains are not confined to a unique clonal lineage but proliferated multifocally by plasmid-mediated dissemination of the metallo-beta-lactamase gene in strains of different genetic backgrounds. Thus, further proliferation of metallo-beta-lactamase-producing strains with resistance to various beta-lactams may well be inevitable in the future, which emphasizes the need for early recognition of metallo-beta-lactamase-producing strains, rigorous infection control, and restricted clinical use of broad-spectrum beta-lactams including carbapenems.
