Emergence of VIM-2 and IMP-15 carbapenemases and inactivation of oprD gene in carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates from Lebanon.

ABSTRACT: We report here the emergence of VIM-2 and IMP-15 carbapenemases in a series of clinical isolates of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Lebanon. We also describe the disruption of the oprD gene by either mutations or insertion sequence (IS) elements ISPa1328 and ISPre2 isoform. Our study reemphasizes a rapid dissemination of the VIM-2 carbapenemase-encoding gene in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa in the Mediterranean basin.

Insertional inactivation of oprD in carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from burn patients in Tehran, Iran.

Project description:In this study, we report the insertion sequence ISPpu21 in the oprD porin gene of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from burn patients in Tehran, Iran. Antibiotic susceptibility tests for P. aeruginosa isolates were determined. Production of metallo-?-lactamases (MBLs) and carbapenemase was evaluated and the ?-lactamase-encoding and aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme genes were investigated by PCR and sequencing methods. The mRNA transcription level of oprD and mex efflux pump genes were evaluated by real-time PCR. The outer membrane protein pro?le was determined by SDS-PAGE. The genetic relationship between the P. aeruginosa isolates was assessed by random amplified polymorphic DNA PCR. In all, 10.52% (10/95) of clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa harboured the ISPpu21 insertion element in the oprD gene. The extended-spectrum ?-lactamase-encoding gene in ISPpu21-carrying isolates was blaTEM. PCR assays targeting MBL and carbapenemase-encoding genes were also negative in all ten isolates. The rmtA, aadA, aadB and armA genes were positive in all ISPpu21 harbouring isolates. The relative expression levels of the mexX, mexB, mexT and mexD genes in ten isolates ranged from 0.1- to 1.4-fold, 1.1- to 3.68-fold, 0.3- to 8.22-fold and 1.7- to 35.17-fold, respectively. The relative expression levels of the oprD in ten isolates ranged from 0.57- to 35.01-fold, which was much higher than those in the control strain P. aeruginosa PAO1. Evaluation of the outer membrane protein by SDS-PAGE suggested that oprD was produced at very low levels by all isolates. Using random amplified polymorphic DNA PCR genotyping, eight of the ten isolates containing ISPpu21 were shown to be clonally related. The present study describes a novel molecular mechanism, ISPpu21 insertion of the oprD gene, associated with carbapenem resistance in clinical P. aeruginosa isolates.

Emergence of Raoultella ornithinolytica coproducing IMP-4 and KPC-2 carbapenemases in China.

Project description:We report here the emergence of seven IMP-4-producing Raoultella ornithinolytica isolates obtained from one patient. All isolates carried the blaIMP-4 carbapenemase gene, five isolates also carried blaSHV-12, four contained blaTEM-1, and one contained blaOXA-1. Notably, the R. ornithinolytica isolate Ro25724 also expressed Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-2. The blaKPC-2 gene was located on a Tn3-Tn4401 integration structure on a plasmid of ?450 kb. This is the first description of the coexistence of blaKPC-2 and blaIMP-4 from the genus Raoultella.

Nosocomial outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a new bla(IMP) allele, bla(IMP-7).

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from an outbreak in Canada were highly resistant to carbapenems and ceftazidime but not piperacillin. They produced a novel integron-associated metallo-beta-lactamase, designated IMP-7, with 91% identity to IMP-1. bla(IMP-7) was not detected with standard bla(IMP)-specific primers, owing to mismatches in the forward primer.

Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in malaysia producing IMP-7 beta-lactamase.

Project description:We have isolated and identified a carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain from Malaysia that produces an IMP-7 metallo-beta-lactamase. This isolate showed high-level resistance to meropenem and imipenem, the MICs of which were 256 and 128 micro g/ml, respectively. Isoelectric focusing analyses revealed pI values of >9.0, 8.2, and 7.8, which indicated the possible presence of IMP and OXA. DNA sequencing confirmed the identity of the IMP-7 determinant.

Detection of bla(IMP) and bla(VIM) metallo-?-lactamases genes among Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains.

Project description:Acquired Metallo-?-Lactamases (MBLs) are emerging resistance determinants in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other gram-negative bacteria.Using Combination Disk Diffusion test, it was found that among 83 imipenem non-susceptible P. aeruginosa strains, 48 (57.9%) were MBL producers. PCR and Sequencing methods proved that these isolates were positive for blaIMP-1 genes, whereas none were positive for bla(VIM) genes. The mortality rate due to MBL-producing Pseudomonas infection was 4 (8.3%) among the hospitalized patients. Therefore, identification of drug resistance patterns in P. aeruginosa and detection of MBLs producing isolates are of great importance in the prevention and control of infections.

VIM-15 and VIM-16, two new VIM-2-like metallo-beta-lactamases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from Bulgaria and Germany.

Project description:Two Pseudomonas aeruginosa urine isolates from Bulgaria and Germany produced two new VIM-2 variants. VIM-15 had one amino acid substitution (Tyr218Phe) which caused a significant increase in hydrolytic efficiency. The substitution Ser54Leu, characterizing VIM-16, showed no influence on enzyme activity. Both genes were part of class I integrons located in the chromosome.

Enhanced in vivo fitness of carbapenem-resistant oprD mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa revealed through high-throughput sequencing.

Project description:An important question regarding the biologic implications of antibiotic-resistant microbes is how resistance impacts the organism's overall fitness and virulence. Currently it is generally thought that antibiotic resistance carries a fitness cost and reduces virulence. For the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, treatment with carbapenem antibiotics is a mainstay of therapy that can lead to the emergence of resistance, often through the loss of the carbapenem entry channel OprD. Transposon insertion-site sequencing was used to analyze the fitness of 300,000 mutants of P. aeruginosa strain PA14 in a mouse model for gut colonization and systemic dissemination after induction of neutropenia. Transposon insertions in the oprD gene led not only to carbapenem resistance but also to a dramatic increase in mucosal colonization and dissemination to the spleen. These findings were confirmed in vivo with different oprD mutants of PA14 as well as with related pairs of carbapenem-susceptible and -resistant clinical isolates. Compared with OprD(+) strains, those lacking OprD were more resistant to killing by acidic pH or normal human serum and had increased cytotoxicity against murine macrophages. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that an oprD mutant showed dramatic changes in the transcription of genes that may contribute to the various phenotypic changes observed. The association between carbapenem resistance and enhanced survival of P. aeruginosa in infected murine hosts suggests that either drug resistance or host colonization can cause the emergence of more pathogenic, drug-resistant P. aeruginosa clones in a single genetic event.

Rapid Detection and Characterization of Carbapenemases in Enterobacterales with a New Modified Carbapenem Inactivation Method, mCIMplus.

Project description:The worldwide emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance in Gram-negative bacteria are severely limiting therapeutic options and thus constitute a major public health threat. The timely accurate detection of carbapenemase producers and the determination of carbapenemase class according to the Ambler classification can guide antimicrobial therapy and facilitate infection control measures. A modified version of the carbapenemase inactivation method (CIM), mCIM, was described and approved by the CLSI in 2017. We evaluated the performance of a faster new mCIM-based assay, mCIMplus, which can detect carbapenemase activity within 8 h and characterize the carbapenemase according to the Ambler classification in 20 h. A panel of 137 isolates producing carbapenemases (GES, IMP, KPC, NDM, OXA-48, OXA-48-like, and VIM enzymes) and 22 non-carbapenemase-producing isolates was used to evaluate the performance of mCIMplus. We evaluated the detection of carbapenemase activity at 8 and 20 h. Carbapenemase class was determined, with specific inhibitors, at 20 h. The sensitivities of mCIMplus were 99.3% at 8 h and 98.5% at 20 h. Its specificity was 100% regardless of culture time. Based on a decision algorithm, this test successfully identified the carbapenemase class for 98.4% of the tested isolates (127/129). Characterization was correct for 100, 95, and 100% of Ambler class A, B, and D isolates, respectively. This test can, therefore, be used to detect carbapenemase activity within 8 h and to determine carbapenemase class within 20 h. It constitutes a very affordable (<€1 per isolate) and reliable technique requiring only basic laboratory equipment.

Infrequent finding of metallo-?-lactamase VIM-2 in carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from Croatia.

Project description:One hundred sixty-nine nonreplicate imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated in a large hospital on the coastal region of Croatia were studied. The most active antibiotics were colistin and amikacin. Most of the isolates were multiresistant. The most prevalent serotype was O12, followed by O11. Six strains carried the bla(VIM-2) gene located in a novel class 1 integron composed in its variable part of the bla(VIM-2)-bla(oxa-10)-?qacF-aacA4 genes. Metallo-?-lactamase-producing strains belonged to sequence types ST235 and ST111.
